Overview
In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed across the ocean and discovered America. Right? WRONG! Columbus never actually set foot in what is now the United States. His voyages took him to islands in the Caribbean and along the coast of South America.Ā
The truth is, when Columbus first arrived, Indigenous peoples, including the Taino, had been living there for thousands of years, raising their families, running their societies, and trading with their neighbors. He didnāt ādiscoverā the lands at all! And his name? Not even really Christopher Columbus! Cowritten by bestselling author Kate Messner and our countryās premier Taino scholar, this fascinating addition to the series is the one that teachers have been asking for and that kids need to read.
Discover the nonfiction series that demolishes everything you thought you knew about history. Donāt miss History Smashers: The Mayflower, Women's Right to Vote, and Pearl Harbor.
