Zine / pamphlet. Published by Microcosm! While past histories depict Columbus as either god-sent angel or bloodthirsty demon, Simple History Series author J. Gerlach opts to let the events stand on their own, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions. Heavily-illustrated, Christopher Columbus and His Expeditions to America is an objective portrait of the oft-maligned man. The story presented here is one of wholesale murder, wild ambition, and supersized gold lust. It's a dark piece of our history made even darker with facts generally left out of textbooks. But, as always, Simple History allows us to think for ourselves.
