How about ADMIRAL OF THE OCEAN SEA

PatH · « **Reply #6341 on:** July 25, 2014, 11:26:56 PM »

WINNER WINNER WINNER

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

marjifay · « **Reply #6342 on:** July 26, 2014, 01:36:20 AM »

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.
