Filson (Alexander Bell Filson) Christopher Columbus and the New World of His Discovery — Volume 3 Produced by David Widger "Christopher Columbus and the New World of His Discovery — Volume 3" by Filson Young is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. This volume details the initial explorations of Christopher Columbus in the Caribbean as he embarks on a quest to discover new lands, driven especially by his ambition for wealth and fortune for the Spanish crown. The narrative captures Columbus's encounters with indigenous peoples and his reflections on the exotic beauty of the lands he discovers. The opening portion of the work introduces Columbus's arrival at San Salvador and outlines his immediate intentions to explore further, examining his interactions with the native inhabitants. The natives, characterized by their innocence and unfamiliarity with European goods, engage in trades with Columbus, who is primarily focused on finding gold. Detailed observations are made about the natural beauty of the islands, including lush vegetation and wildlife. As Columbus continues his journey, he notes the geography of the islands and dreams of finding wealth, setting the stage for the complexities of his relationship with the native populations and the coming challenges of colonization. Ultimately, the narrative begins to intertwine themes of exploration, ambition, and the exploration of human interactions between the conquistadors and the indigenous peoples they encounter.
