This book uncovers the hidden truths about a famous moment in history -- Christopher Columbus' "discovery" of America in 1492. According to the authors, Columbus first voyaged to islands in the Caribbean and along the coast of South America where Indigenous peoples, including the Taino, had been living for thousands of years.

"In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed across the ocean and discovered America. Right? WRONG! Columbus never actually set foot in what is now the United States. His voyages took him to islands in the Caribbean and along the coast of South America. The truth is, when Columbus first arrived, Indigenous peoples, including the Taino, had been living there for thousands of years, raising their families, running their societies, and trading with their neighbors. He didn't "discover"? the lands at all! And his name? Not even really Christopher Columbus! Cowritten by bestselling author Kate Messner and our country's premier Taino scholar, this fascinating addition to the series is the one that teachers have been asking for and that kids need to read.".
