Original titleThe Last Voyage of Columbus: Being the Epic Tale of the Great Captain's Fourth Expedition, Including Accounts of Mutiny, Shipwreck, and Discovery
Christopher Columbus's fourth voyage was his final, least-known, and arguably most exciting expedition. The extended 1502-4 trip took him to what are now the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, and Jamaica and exposed him and his men to deadly storms, attacks, mutiny, shipwreck, and terrible deprivation. Weakened by the voyage, Columbus died only two years after his return. Martin Dugard, the author of Chasing Lance and Farther than Any Man, delivers a riveting account of an explorer's last hurrah.
