It is pompous to judge those in the past by our "enlightened" standards.<br /><br />A non-fction book on Columbus with an interesting take on him was written by the Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, Sails of Hope. <br /><br />Again, I thank you for alerting me to this site with your post on facebook.donrochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12140645130006407906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534969239819752925.post-89288026243349881452010-06-29T20:44:36.360-05:002010-06-29T20:44:36.360-05:00Thank you for all of the information on this man, ...Thank you for all of the information on this man, who everyone knows by name but not by deed.

Very intersting. <br /><br />People from the past should not be judged by today's standards. I'm not excusing what was done to the indigneous peoples, I think it's such a sad thing that happened. However, people acted and thought much differently back then, as opposed to now. <br /> <br />As civilization has grown, so has our understanding and knowledge of others. Some people today still have little respect for others just as they did in the past.<br /> <br />Regardless of your personal opinion, you have to admire what Columbus did back when they thought the world was flat and the ship was expected to fall off the face of the earth.Jenny Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04077659644092707107noreply@blogger.com
