Biography: Christopher Columbus - Explorer of the New World

In this episode of Biography, viewers examine the life and times of Christopher Columbus. Although Columbus made one of the single most important discoveries in Western history, he died a poor, forgotten man. In this video, historians separate the man from the myth. Using period accounts and interviews with experts, Biography weaves a portrait of a man who never managed the credit he was due, a man over whom there is still ferocious debate. The serious tone and balanced approach of this video makes it appropriate for use in the college classroom. ~ Rob Ferrier, All Movie Guide
