Although historians tell us Christopher Columbus was not the first explorer to set foot on our continent, he probably was the first to realize what he had discovered. Perhaps a phrase from the 1886 “Harvard Monthly” might help us understand this man a bit better. Columbus found a world and had no chart Save one that faith deciphered in the skies; To trust the soul’s invincible surmise Was all his science and his only art.
