Columbus' Forgotten Voyage

When Laurence Bergreen decided to write a book on Christopher Columbusâ?? four voyages, the comment he most often heard from his friends was, â??You mean he made four voyages? What happened on the others? Where did he go? Do the other voyages matter?â? Bergreen would reply, he remembers, â??that I thought the other voyages mattered greatly, that they were at least as important as the first, which, in context, set the stage for the later ones, each more adventurous and tragic than those preceding it.â?
