Columbus

Columbus takes great interest into the living styles and location of native settlements when coming to America. i find it extremely intersting that he writes in detail days, senery, people, and traditions. one example is when they first came across the natives, they thought the white men were from heaven. they beg the white men to land on their shore because they feel blessed just by seeing them for they see them as Gods spoken people. thinking about it now, what would i have thought if coming across something so completely different then anything i have ever seen. The natives didnt know what a ship was, why they wore the clothes they did, or even their language. Columbus takes notice to this a discusses how valued the white people felt just being around the natives. However, Columbus ended leaving some of his men there when he returned to England but when he returns they are al dead. that speaks volumes about the two races living together. they over look the incident and move onto the native land and over power them. other things Columbus took notice too was the people. he states how in one tribe the married women where cotton shirts, while the others dont. Also, there are no more then fifteen houses in one area, which explains their seludedness from other tribes about them. The writings of Columbus are extremely informational about the new land he comes acrross. he clearly was well educated which allows him to make such a clear image.
