True Story of Christopher Columbus Called the Great Admiral

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This True Story of Christopher Columbus is offered and inscribed to the boys and girls of America as the opening volume in a series especially designed for their reading, and to be called Children's Lives of Great Men. In this series the place of honor, or rather of position, is given to Columbus the Admiral, because had it not been for him and for his pluck and faith and perseverance there might have been no young Americans, such as we know to-day, to read or care about the world's great men.
