by Manuel Rosa (Goodrea...Columbus the Untold Story <br />by Manuel Rosa (Goodreads Author) <br />1005422<br />Darrell Kastin's review Aug 05, 2016<br />really liked it<br />Read from July 03 to August 05, 2016<br /><br />Fantastic book. The author methodically checks off the lies, the misinformation, the forgeries, and focuses on the aspects of Colón's life the historians have ignored or tried to explain away with ridiculous assertions. In particular, Rosa includes extensive family charts that show Colón's family was very close to the man to whom he wrote in Portuguese, calling Colón, "our special friend," King John II. It's clear in reading biographies of Columbus that the writers have never understood who Kiing John II was, or his relationship to Colón, which makes it impossible to know who Colón truly was.<br /><br />I cannot wait for more information to come to light, whether it be written or DNA; more proof that the poor nobody from Genoa was not in fact the man we've come to call Columbus.Cristóvão Colonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497523500155699597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061926164505685267.post-88313978593036084502016-07-25T18:38:39.255-07:002016-07-25T18:38:39.255-07:00Manuel Rosa has done an outstanding job of debunki...Manuel Rosa has done an outstanding job of debunking the 'official' Genoa peasant weaver Cristoforo Colombo myth. He does this with extensive documentation of Segismundo Henriques Jagiello's personal family history, life in Portugal and Spain, personal documents and letters, etc. Manuel also goes into great detail about the political climate and circumstances surrounding Portugal and Spain as well.<br />I definitely recommend this book to anyone that is interested in discovering the truth about the man falsely called Colombo.
