He studied the Archives of the Indies in Spain, and Columbus family documents in Italy. From this research, he produced a biography of Columbus, which appears in chapters alternating with an account of his own present-day journey in his predecessor's steps. In Haiti he tracked down the exact location at which the "Santa Maria" was shipwrecked and the first settlement established in the New World. He went to the Bahamas, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela - and many other places. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Exploration; History. ISBN: 1856190676. ISBN/EAN: 9781856190671.
