“Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World.” ~ Cristóbal Colón

Welcome to our brave new world, CHRISTOPHER vs. COLUMBUS, where we examine Cristoforo Colombo (Christopher Columbus). Was he a hero or a villain? We invite you to join our team of explorers (Lee, Chris, Gabe and Chris O.) as we journey back in time to join the famous voyages to the Americas, where we attempt to face his challenges and dare to pass judgement onto the man and his actions. Feel free to add your own comments, agree or disagree, and introduce new content to help make our world a better place. Safe travels! ~ Team Colombo
