Book Reviews of Columbus's Outpost among the Ta?nos: Spain and America at La Isabela, 1493-1498

Book Review: fascinating
Summary: 5 Stars

The story of the first Spanish settlement in the New World and its relationship with the local Taino Indians on Hispanola. Established by Columbus in 1493 the settlement faced hard times to carve out an existence in a new land. This story uses archeological evidence and other sources to tell the story. A fascinating history that is both obscure, small and very colorful.
