favorite piece of Early American literature

I will say reading and learning about Christopher Columbus was a good piece to read about. Reading about Christopher Columbus and his voyages especially pertaining to the New World America was very interesting. The image that I had of Columbus was not a pleasant thought in the beginning. I had to read about him (other than what was taught to me in elementary school) to understand why he did what he did ( discovered America). Columbus had his flaws but he was not a terrible person that my old teacher claimed him to be. I would recommend that Christopher Columbus is taught in the other Eng251 classes just in case someone has this terrible thought of Columbus. The Early American Literature class can help them to get a better understanding of Christopher Columbus and his voyages.
