In response to Julie McDonald-Smith’s smug column on Columbus’s voyage to the Americas (The Right View: Columbus did more than sail the ocean blue), I have only this reply: Spend a bit of time reviewing the man’s own journals of exploration, and let the facts of his own deplorable acts upon his fellow man speak more eloquently to his character than who financed his trip. Disgusted.
