Description

Juan de la Cosa sailed with Columbus, owned the Santa María, and in 1500 drew the earliest surviving map on which the Americas appear — a document that changed what Europe believed the world to be. He then went back, repeatedly, and was killed on the Colombian coast in 1510. Enrique de Leguina (1842-1924) wrote this study in 1877 as part of a series on the illustrious sons of Santander, working from the chronicles and from the cartographic record; his subject had been better known as a name attached to a map than as a career, and the book sets out to give him one. This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1877 edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
