The Beginner's American History by D. H. (David Henry) Montgomery Birth and boyhood of Columbus.-Christopher Columbus, [2] the discoverer of America, was born at Genoa, [3] a seaport of Italy, more than four hundred and fifty years ago. His father was a wool-comber.[4] Christopher did not care to learn that trade, but wanted to become a sailor. Seeing the boy's strong liking for the sea, his father sent him to a school where he could learn geography, map-drawing, and whatever else might help him to become some day commander of a vessel. 1 These enclosed dates under a name show, except when otherwise stated, the year of birth and death. 2 Christopher Columbus (Kris'tof-er Ko-lum'bus). 3 Genoa (Jen'o-ah); see map in paragraph . 4 Wool-comber: before wool can be spun into thread and woven into cloth the tangled locks must be combed out straight and smooth; once this was all done by hand.
