Description
George P Upton translated Christopher Columbus from the German of Joachim Heinrich Campe. McClurg issued it in Chicago in nineteen eleven. The book stands in the Life Stories for Young People series. Five pictures illustrate the tale.
Campe wrote lives of great men as talks for the young. Columbus, the Genoese sailor who crossed the Atlantic in fourteen ninety-two, heads many such sets. Upton's preface notes five others of the Columbus family name. The tale follows the Admiral from his youth to his voyages and hard last years. Campe adds talk and scene to keep young ears. Such lives taught history as story in the schoolrooms of two lands.
