You got it, Marj, Samuel Eliot Morison's biography of Christopher Columbus.  Fast work.

I remember Morrison was one of the historians who wrote my college textbook on U.S.History.  (I hated U.S history in high school taught by the boy's football coach, but had a great professor in college and loved his history courses.) Wikipedia says Morrison got a Pulitzer for Admiral of the Ocean Sea, and also for his biography of John Paul Jones. 

I haven't read this bio of Columbus.  Have you?

O?

No, Marj, I haven't read Admiral of the Ocean Sea.  I probably should, since Morrison would have done a good job on the seamanship aspect of the story, and I like that kind of thing.
