Voices of the Past | Christopher Columbus' First Letter After Discovery of America // 1493 Primary Source @VoicesofthePast | Uploaded November 2019 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Written aboard the Niña during the long journey home (and finished in Lisbon) here we have Christopher Columbus' first letter announcing the results of his monumental journey across the Atlantic; the islands he visited and his encounters with the natives - encounters that swiftly led to the death of millions and eventually the world we know today.
How do we actually know about history? Voices of the Past is a channel dedicated to recreating the original accounts from the people who lived through events, or who lived far closer to them than we do today. We do this word for word, with an accompanying soundtrack of rousing music and images.
