Review of A Spectacle of Great Beauty
In the primary-source account from Christopher Columbus himself, he began describes the scenery, ,vegetation and the appearance of the indigenous people as he and his man explored the new land that he believed was part of India. Christopher Columbus then wrote in the letter of shyness of native people's toward him and his men before they native people grew enough courage to interact with them directly. From there, he explains the personalities and knowledge of the native people with honorable traits and the new curiosity and generosity the Native Indians had toward him and his crew after the locals have grew to understand that they were not going to harm them; giving their new visitors gifts, drinks and food. Further in the letter the great explorer wrote about his journey to other islands of the new land he found to discover that all the locals he meet had the same language and culture. Finally, he describes his thoughts on the indigenous people's generosity between each other, and of their appearance in greater detail.
