This collection is composed of the different chapters of the text “Christopher Columbus Admiral of the Ocean Sea,” written by Charles W. Moores. Rough drafts of both a table of contents and each chapter are included, as well as a final draft with maps and pictures. Moores extensively covers the life of Christopher Columbus, from boyhood in 1451 to his discovery of the “New World” in 1492. Moores published various books in his time, including further texts on Christopher Columbus, Abraham Lincoln, and the history of Indiana. The title of this text was later changed before being published to “The Life of Christopher Columbus for Boys and Girls.”
