First Landing of Col in the New World at San Salvador
The narrative describes Columbus on October 12 1492 landing at a level island later named San Salvador in the Lucayos chain. Natives approach with awe while Columbus displays benevolence, distributes trinkets, and takes possession in the name of Castile. He explores nearby islands seeking wealth and a king, misinterpreting signs as hints of Cipango and Cathay.
