The Story Of Columbus And Magellan 1905 PDF Download

Excerpt from The Story of Columbus and Magellan The discovery of America by Columbus and the passage of Magellan's ship around the globe, remarks Guillemard, are the two greatest deeds in the history of geography. Through these two voyages Spain laid the foundation of that wonderful colonial power which began at the end of the fifteenth century and was destined to pass away at the dawn of the twentieth. In this small volume the author has tried to picture a few of the stirring events of those epoch-making days.
