True and moving biographies of brave men and women. A scientist discovers light. A young man invents the airplane. A farm boy becomes president. A man discovers a new continent and leaves his mark on history. With an engaging style, the Valour collection narrates remarkable true biographies of fascinating men and women who demonstrated valor, courage, perseverance, effort, etc., to achieve their goals and change the world. Optimistic and determined, after finally obtaining the support of the Spanish monarchs, Christopher Columbus sailed with three ships from Europe westward, convinced that he would establish a new route to the Indies and make contact with the civilization of the Great Khan, a country where gold was abundant. After four risky expeditions during which he explored the Caribbean and landed on the South American continent, Columbus died without his merits being recognized and without knowing that he had reached what would soon be known as the New World. Although he himself never fully understood the magnitude of his discoveries, his voyages across the ocean would soon be considered one of those few feats (1451-1506).
