Why read it?
1 author picked The Columbus Myth as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Every European nation has its own conspiracy theory about discovering America. This is the best and most readable evocation of the British conspiracy theory – that, far from being called after Amerigo Vespucci, the new world was called after John Cabot’s backer Richard Ameryk – who, bizarrely, had the stars and stripes as his family crest.
From David's list on the European re-discovery of America.
