Coleccion de Documentos Ineditos Para la Historia de Espana, Tomo XVI: (Eustaquio Fernández de Navarrete: Hernando Colon y Bartolome Colon)
by Miguel Salva y Pedro Sainz de Baranda
- Used
- Good
- Hardcover
Contains 2 lengthy articles by Eustaquio Fernández de Navarrete on the Columbus family:
a. "Noticias Para la Vida de D. Hernando Colon" (pages 289-483)
b."Noticias de D. Bartolomé Colon, hermano del Almirante" (pages 485-574)
574, index, [2] pages.
Boards rubbed with minor scratches and loss to corners and all three edges. Marbled end-papers with small ex-libris to inner front board. Spanish text clean and unmarked.
A reference source for the life of Hernando Colon, son of Christopher Colon/Columbus, with a focus on the challenges he faced in defending his family's legacy. This volume gives some of the earliest published details of the life of Hernando supported by the inclusion of 8 transcribed documents, including Hernando's defence of his brother's (Diego's) rights to titles and income following his father's death; details relative to the conception Hernando had for his library (the "Biblioteca Hernandia"); and the text of Hernando's will.
Navarrete's second chapter to this volume concerns the life and activities of Bartolome Colon (brother of Christopher Columbus) who played a sometimes important and independent role in the voyages of discovery and settlement associated with his brother. Also included are extracts from a file formed at the request of Bartolome as a result of his imprisonment by Francisco de Bobadilla who was an energetic political opponent of Christopher Columbus and who replaced Columbus as Governor of the West Indies, having him sent back to Spain in chains.
This volume is heavier than the average quoted in my store listings and, as consequence, the shipping cost will be higher than that quoted in my listing. Please contact me if you wish more details.

Indianapolis: Dog Ear Publishing, January 2013. Trade Paperback. Fine. Slight reading wear to corners, otherwise pristine. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Not damaged. Suitable for gifting. 163 pages. The 25 authors of this book were volunteers in the first Peace Corps rural community development project in Africa: Sierra Leone, 1965-67. They are also the first group to tell a collective story of Peace Corps volunteers, anywhere. The Peace Corps was in its infancy then, and memories of John Kennedy were strong among the young volunteers. Sierra Leone was also in its infancy in the first few years after independence, before military coups and tribal warfare became common. The authors forthrightly recount their feelings of loneliness and isolation, and their frightening experiences with secret societies and witchcraft, but their uniquely optimistic "can-do" American attitude brought most through a great life experience.
