    Extractions: Millersville University Background to the Age of Discovery: One cannot begin to understand Christopher Columbus without understanding the world into which he was born. The 15 th century was a dynamic century, a century of change. There were many historical events throughout Western Europe that impacted society profoundly. Directly affecting the future explorer much closer to home, however, were three momentous events in and around the Mediterranean: High on the pantheon of names of important figures of the Age of Discovery is Henry the Navigator's. He is considered by many historians to have provided not only the inspiration for the Age but much of the practical knowledge accumulated over decades of trial and error in developing ocean-going ships, sails, and navigational aids, some even borrowed from the Arabs. The Caravel, which came to be identified with this period of exploration, was a product of his assiduous search for a better ocean-going vessel. Henry contributed significantly to the psychology of discovery and helped to whet the appetite of those who were daring enough to venture out in search of riches.

    Extractions: Touring Turn-of-the-Century America, 1880-1920 As a reward for his valuable discovery, the Spanish crown granted Columbus the right to bear arms . His new Coat of Arms added the royal charges of Castile and Leon and an image of islands to his traditional family arms. Columbus further modified the design to include a continent beside the pictured islands. Before his final voyage, the Spanish monarchs prepared a Book of Privileges, a collection of agreements showing how Columbus was remunerated for his explorations. In 1502, four copies of the book were known to exist. The Library of Congress's precious copy of this work is considered one of the " Top Treasures " included in the online exhibition American Treasures of the Library of Congress

    Extractions: By Nancy Steinbach (THEME) VOICE ONE: This is Rich Kleinfeldt. VOICE TWO: And this is Sarah Long with the MAKING OF A NATION, A VOA Special English program about the history of the United States. Today, we tell about how and why European explorers arrived in North America. (THEME) VOICE ONE: The first Europeans arrived about two-thousand years ago in the area now called North America. A Norse explorer, Leif Erickson, sailed his boat from Greenland around the northeastern coast of the continent. He returned home to Greenland to tell others about the new country. He called it "Vinland." A few settlements were created following his explorations. Experts digging in eastern Canada thirty years ago found a village of houses just like those found in Greenland, Iceland and Norway. But the Norsemen did not develop any permanent settlements in North America. VOICE TWO: About Ten-Hundred, Europe was beginning a period of great change. One reason was the religious wars known as the crusades. These wars were efforts by Europeans who were mainly Roman Catholic Christians. They wanted to force Muslims out of what is now the Middle East. The crusades began at the end of the Eleventh Century. They continued for about two-hundred years. The presence of European armies in the Middle East increased trade which was controlled by businessmen in Venice and other Italian city-states. The businessmen were earning large profits by transporting and supplying the warring armies.

    Extractions: Ironically, Columbus had landed in the New World by accident. He was seeking a western sea route from Europe to Asia. When he sighted land , he believed that he had reached his goal. And to the day he died he still believed that he had reached Asia. Although Columbus was mistaken, he still ranks as a great discoverer. Few other navigators of his time would have dared to sail westward into the unknown. Early Life of Columbus The father of Columbus was Domenico Colombo, a wool weaver. He had his own business in the port city of Genoa, Italy. There Cristoforo was born in the late summer or early autumn of 1451. (English-speaking peoples have since changed the Italian form of his name to Christopher Columbus.) The boy had little or no schooling. He and his younger brother Bartholomew helped their father by carding raw wool. Christopher grew up to be a tall, strongly built young man with red hair and a ruddy complexion. He was quiet and deeply religious; and he was quick to learn from experience. He worked for his father until he was 22. He probably went out with the sardine fishing fleets, as other Genoese boys did, and he may have sailed along the coast or over to Corsica on business for his father. Genoese traders often owned their own coastal schooners, and Columbus' father may have had one of these. He made at least one trip to the North African coast. On these longer voyages he learned the elements of seamanship.

    Extractions: The Great Explorers CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS Early Life : Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa in 1451. He was the eldest of five children. His next brother, Bartholomew planned the great voyage with him and became his right-hand man in all his enterprises. His father was a wool-weaver and his mother was the daughter of a wool-weaver. Columbus helped his father but at the age of twenty he decided to become a sailor. Columbus believed that the earth was round. He thought he could reach the Indies by sailing west. Many people did not agree with him. Some still thought that the earth was flat. Others said that the earth and the Atlantic Ocean were too big,that ships would not be able to sail to the Indies and return safely. Nobody in Europe knew that America existed. Columbus did not have ships or money. He asked many rich people for help but all refused. Finally, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain gave him three ships called The pinta The Nina and The Santa Maria. They also gave him money to pay sailors. But many sailors feared the Atlantic Ocean and refused to go with him. Columbus had to give very high wages to get crews for his ships. The ships left Spain on August 3rd 1492. First they sailed south to the Canary Islands. There they loaded the ships with extra food and drink. In September Columbus sailed westwards across the Atlantic. After a while the sailors became frightened because it was the longest time they had ever been out of sight of land. They thought they would all die. After about two nights they saw a white sandy beach ahead. They all went rushing to see if they had reached the Indies.

    Extractions: Around the year 982 Eric the Red sailed to Iceland. He landed on the coast of Greenland. He founded the first colony there. His son named Leif Ericson began exploring the area. He reached the North American mainland around the year 1000 and called it Vinland. Later archaeologists uncovered the remains of his settlement at the extreme northern tip of Newfoundland. In 1965 a map dated from around 1440 was found. This Viking map showed parts of northeastern Canada. Back to Chart Marco Polo Marco Polo and his two uncles visited Cathay, later called China. They lived at the court of the Emperor. When he went back to Italy, Polo wrote a book about this travels in the Far East. After the invention of Gutenburg's Printing Press in the year 1436 this book became one of the first to be published. Men became fascinated by Polo's descriptions of the Orient. Men began searching for sea routes to China, Japan, and the East Indies. Some of these men believed that the sea to the east of China and India was the same sea that was west of Europe. One map maker named Paolo Toscanelli even drew a map showing Europe with the Indies to the west rather than the east. Back to Chart Prince Henry

    Extractions: 1492. Columbus. The date and the name provoke many questions related to the linking of very different parts of the world, the Western Hemisphere and the Mediterranean. What was life like in those areas before 1492? What spurred European expansion? How did European, African and American peoples react to each other? What were some of the immediate results of these contacts? 1492: AN ONGOING VOYAGE addresses such questions by examining the rich mixture of societies coexisting in five areas of this hemisphere before European arrival. It then surveys the polyglot Mediterranean world at a dynamic turning point in its development. The exhibition examines the first sustained contacts between American people and European explorers, conquerors and settlers from 1492 to 1600. During this period, in the wake of Columbus's voyages, Africans also arrived in the hemisphere, usually as slaves. All of these encounters, some brutal and traumatic, others more gradual, irreversibly changed the way in which peoples in the Americas led their lives. The dramatic events following 1492 set the stage for numerous cultural interactions in the Americas which are still in progress - a complex and ongoing voyage.

    Extractions: Repro ID D2194 Christopher Columbus was born in the Italian seaport of Genoa in 1451, to a family of wool weavers. As a child he helped his father at the loom and then as a young lad went to sea. He became an experienced sailor and moved to Lisbon in Portugal to try and gain support for a new journey he was planning. He visited the courts of the kings and queens of Europe asking for help and money. Finally Ferdinand and Isabella, the king and queen of Spain, agreed to support him. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the Europeans wanted to find sea routes to the East. Columbus wanted to find a new route to the Far East, to India, China, Japan and the Spice Islands. If he could reach these lands, he would be able to bring back rich cargoes of silks and spices. Columbus knew that the world was round and realised that by sailing west, instead of east around the coast of Africa, as other explorers at the time were doing, he would still reach the East and the rich Spice Islands.

    Extractions: Biography Informal Student Comments Student Papers Electronic Texts ... WWW Links Biography Informal Student Comments Andy Roberson Well, we pretty much trashed Columbus and his writings on Tuesday, but I will submit this even though that discussion is finished. It is entirely possible that part of what the class contributed to Columbus's self-serving ego may have been innocent. If you heard 50 birds, how many of you would know that No! that was not a nightingale I just heard. Columbus certainly was overwhelmed with a wealth of new sights and sounds and he probably could not describe them all. Instead, his descriptions of the land, honey, and other of his "deceptions" can be viewed more as expressions of the environment Columbus experienced translated into something he, the monarchs, and others could associate with. While I admit that Columbus probably always had his own self-interests in mind, even the obvious resentfulness that we discussed in class is somewhat understandable. Who would not resent being removed of status when a plan you had petitioned for and carried out was benefiting those who were attempting to undermine you?
