1491: Uncovering the Hidden History of the Americas Before Columbus – A Comprehensive Book Review
The history books we read in school often herald Christopher Columbus as the man who discovered America. However, research by Charles C. Mann in his book 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus reveals a much different story. This comprehensive work examines not only the civilizations that were here long before Columbus, but also how their presence shaped the continent. 1491 offers an eye-opening look at pre-Columbian America and provides readers with an alternative view of history.
