Edited by: Helen Cothran
Published by Greenhaven Press

While some historians argue that Christopher Columbus's arrival in North America marked the beginning of one of the world's greatest civilizations, others claim that the appearance of European explorers in the new world set in motion a cultural genocide unparalleled in human history. Authors in this volume discuss the exploration and colonization of America up to 1607.
