Filson (Alexander Bell Filson) Christopher Columbus and the New World of His Discovery — Volume 1 Produced by David Widger "Christopher Columbus and the New World of His Discovery — Volume 1" by Filson Young is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. This narrative delves into the life and voyages of Christopher Columbus, exploring the context of his time and the implications of his discoveries on the New World. The book aims to bridge the gap between extensive historical research and the general reader's understanding of Columbus's significance. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for Columbus's journey by exploring the historical and cultural milieu of the late 15th century. It begins with a thoughtful letter from the author to Sir Horace Plunkett, reflecting on the pursuit of exploration and the essence of human nature that drives individuals to discover new worlds. The introduction emphasizes the contrast between the limitations of previous historical accounts and the potential for a deeper understanding of Columbus's character and motivations. Young brings forth the idea that Columbus's inner spark and relentless ambition came from a profound connection to the sea and its mysteries, laying the groundwork for the exploration of his early life in Genoa and the formative experiences that shaped the renowned mariner's destiny.
