The History of Cuba, vol. 1

by Willis Fletcher Johnson

Etext transcriber's note: Some of the images may be seen at an enlarged size by clicking on them. Although several typographical errors have been corrected, the variation in the use of Spanish accents has not been altered (ie. both Senor and Señor [tilde n] appear.) The Index included at the end of this etext (which includes volumes 1 thru 4) appears at the end of volume four of The History of Cuba. It is provided here for convenience.

COLOMBUS

The picture of Columbus which has been engraved for this work and which here appears is that known as the Janez portrait, which is generally accepted in Spain as the most faithful presentment of the features of the great Discoverer.
