In appoint this work naming Christopher Columbus as the hero of humanity, I do not mean to beatify or canonize him. He did not use fair methods at all, nor was he honest at all, nor did he act at all with a clear and crystalline conscience. This work is a compilation of the Diary of Christopher Columbus, the navigator, so I will not go on these pages to dwell on the heroism of Columbus, only the personal Diary of Columbus in the days before and after the discovery of America. Man s life is like this, we go on living, then the judgment of others will tell whether we were heroes or villains. For certain people and at a certain time some are heroes and these same characters can be seen as villains. I do not hide that I see Columbus as a hero, but in presenting Columbus s diary I give readers the opportunity to examine for yourselves Columbus s narratives about his days that made him famous worldwide and placed him on the list of fame in human history.
