New book rediscovers Christopher Columbus' first landfall in America
FALLS CHURCH, Va. (MMD Newswire) April 29, 2009 -- For centuries, controversy surrounding the location of Christopher Columbus' first landfall in the Americas has been a topic of spirited debate, states Alejandro Raymundo Perez in his newly updated book Columbus Island? The Clues to the True Landfall. Was it Watling Island in the Bahamas? Or was it really Samana Cay? Or was it elsewhere?
In Columbus Island? The Clues to the True Landfall, Perez presents his conclusions on where Columbus first landed on his fateful voyage of 1492. Perez also endeavors to examine scholars, historians and the general public's opinions on this topic in a comprehensive manner.
Columbus Island? The Clues to the True Landfall contains new data, author opinions and other Columbus-related materials. While the solution of this age-old enigma is of great historic interest, Perez believes his most important finding has been his confirmation of the legitimacy of the Columbus log, the "Diario," in the face of the efforts by some to discredit it.
