an interesting fact about Christopher Columbus


On Christmas Eve, the Santa Maria was wrecked near Haiti. Columbus built a fort and left 40 men to hunt for gold. Then he returned to Spain on the Nina. The Pinta also returned. The people of Spain welcomed him as a hero.


I didn't know that this happened, just thought it was interesting and that you guys might want to read it. oh yeah here's an interesting pic of Chris:
