Description

Christopher Columbus was not the first to discover the Americas, but his voyages led to European exploration of the New World.

The newcomers gave little thought to those who had called the lands their home, and exploration soon came to signify conquest. The New World -- and the lives of its inhabitants -- would be changed forever. - from Amzon
