Angela Khyro History 115 10-27-18 Assignment 1 My topic is going to be on the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus. I will be talking about who he was and how he made a huge impact in the history world. I will be talking about his early life. I will also be talking about what Christopher Columbus discovered, what he was looking for and why he became so famous. I am also looking forward in learning more about the first voyage and later voyages. I have heard that he was a legacy and that is one of the things I am looking forward in learning about him. For this assignment, I will be using books from the library that have information on Columbus and I will also use online sources as well and hope to find other sources about him as well (just not too sure what right now). In my research paper, I am hoping to find personal letters and information that will make my paper so much better and more interesting to read. This research paper is to get the readers to know more in detail about Christopher Columbus rather than just the basic information.
