A different view of Columbus

Dear Editor,

After reading the letter from Helen Ruth [Arnold], I couldn't resist asking anyone interested in reading just what sort of values Christopher Columbus displayed that earned him a day of celebration each year, to please read this {http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/10/08/4398 excerpt.][The article,] "Thom Hartmann on Christopher Columbus" might shed a different light on this man and his crew.

The article includes content from actual letters written by Chris and crew/family.
