Seventh Annotation Due Friday November 21

("Christopher Columbus.” Encyclopedia Britannica, Inc. 2nd ed. 1973)


This encyclopedia talked a lot about Christopher Columbus. This encyclopedia talked about the four voyages of Christopher Columbus. How Christopher Columbus survived when his ship crashed, how did he eat, how did he keep warm, and how he treated his men. He treated his men that traveled with him like thrash if they didn't participate in anything. He also enslaved natives when he discovered the island in the Bahamas. Christopher Columbus had two brother named Barthlomew and Diego. Bartholomew was an chartmaker.

This encyclopedia will be stated as an Primary Source. This encyclopedia was one of the best sources I look at. It was one of the best because it gave information on his early life. Also it talk about what the people did to Christopher Columbus remains when he died.
