[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Columbus discovered America.  Get over it.[/quote]

Just like I discovered Nordstrom’s!  
Seriously, anyone who is pro-Columbus should read his journals.  He was a Class A Awful Person.  Really, even by the standards of his time, an enormous asshole.[/quote]

Journals "transcribed" by Bartolome de las Casas.

"All existing copies of the journal are based on the journal's abstract – a manuscript of 76 folios discovered later in the library of the Duke of the Infantado by Martín Fernández de Navarrete.[2] The manuscript was kept in the Biblioteca Nacional de España until about 1925 when it was reported as missing.[2] Navarrete reported the discovery of the journal's abstract to his friend, Juan Batista Muñoz who used it in his Historia del Nuevo Mundo published in 1793.[citation needed] In 1825, Navarrete published the abstract with expanded abbreviations, spelled out numerals, corrected punctuation and modernized spelling.[2] All editions of Navarrete's copy since 1825 differ to some extent from the las Casas copy, which was published in 1962 as a facsimile by Carlos Sanz. In 1892, an edition of Navarrete's copy was published by Italian scholar Cesare De Lollis with critical apparatus.

Bartolomé de las Casas did not have the original journal either and ordered a scribe to make a copy of the journal's abstract discovered by Navarrete."
