AD1200 or before, but not before 1100); The Vinland History (of/from the Flat Island Book)(abt. AD 1380);other Vinland references. There were no longer any other people in Greenland when Eric the Red found and colonized it, but there was some evidence of previous occupation. Remember Eric the Red, Thorvald's son, Leif the Lucky, Eric's son, and Thorfinn Karlsefni, Thord's son and the land of grapes, wild sown grain, maple trees (maybe), salmon, furs, timber, and Skrellings. Columbus’s Articles of Agreement with the king and queen. Grant of Titles to Columbus by Spain. Columbus's Journal of the first voyage, as epitomized by Bartolomé de las Casas; Columbus's team visited San Salvador Island(called Watlings Island from 1680-1925), Rum Cay (called S.M. de la Concepcion), Long Is.(called Fernandina), Saomete (now Crooked Is.)(called Isabella), Las Islas de Arena, Cuba (called Juana), and Hayti (now called Hispaniola) and Tortuga Is.. Columbus was a bad boss and man because he kept two sets of books to lie to his men (and other captains?) about the distances traveled (Could he really have succeeded in tricking them, when others presumably gathered the mileage data?), stole the prize, an annuity and other things, from the man who first saw land, and kidnapped Indians starting at the first island. Letters from Columbus. Dr. Chanca’s letter on Columbus’s second voyage. Narrative of Columbus’s third voyage per Las Casas. More Columbus letters. Letter of Columbus on the fourth voyage, when he went to the Gulf of Paria (between Venezuela and Trinidad) and Honduras to Panama. Misc. letters describing John Cabot’s voyages. ( customer)
