Latest Review: Columbus, Slave Trader by Marcus Wilson

Post by Varsha Bansal 1 »

This is the 1st paragraph, in fact the first chapter of the book I last read (Columbus, Slave Trader):

Sharks followed four tiny ships
Five hundred slaves aboard in the winter cold Just eighty reach Seville
Sharks ate well
The first slave ships to cross the Atlantic Carried not Blacks from east to west
But Native Americans from west to east
