Description
1887 Christopher Columbus 1ed Adventures & Voyages History New World Discovery



“The Adventures of Columbus” by Frances A. Humphrey is an illustrated historical account aimed at young readers that outlines the epic voyages of Christopher Columbus. Starting with the early Norse expeditions, it quickly transitions to Columbuss Genoese origins, his maritime education, and his relentless quest to find a westward route to Asia. Despite numerous rejections, Columbus eventually secured Spanish royal patronage for his expedition. The book recounts his 1492 voyage across the Atlantic, the discovery of the New World, his interactions with indigenous peoples, and the subsequent challenges he faced, including betrayal and eventual redemption. Covering his multiple voyages, the narrative culminates with Columbuss death in 1506, providing a concise yet engaging exploration of his life and enduring legacy.



Published in Boston of 1887 by the D. Lothrop Company, this first edition is significantly rare with less than 40 copies remaining in recorded existence worldwide!
