The Last Voyage of Columbus
Everybody knows Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492. But years later, in 1500, he would make an even more precarious voyage. Stripped of his title, accused of heresy and theft, Columbus was imprisoned. But he escaped and fled across the Caribbean, still searching for a westerly passage to India in one of history’s forgotten adventures. Larry talks to Martin Dugard about his new book, The Last Voyage of Columbus (Little, Brown and Company), on the last voyage of history’s most famous explorer.
