great detail or depth surrounding Columbus and his voyages in comparison to the two other sources. I believe the authors did a good job avoiding anything controversial, by only including facts and referring to Columbus as a “successful failure” instead of a hero or barbarian.

The painting, “Christopher Columbus at the royal court of Spain,” was created in 1884 by Václav Brožík, and depicts Columbus requesting, from Queen Isabella, King Ferdinand and groups of courtiers, funding for additional voyages. The poem, “Prayer of Columbus,” written by Walt Whitman in 1874, expresses Columbus’s praise of God for all his achievements, believing that God would still be on his side even though he had been through all the sufferings.
