Anyone know of a picture book or young adult reader dealing with the Franciscans that were actually part of the Columbus voyage? Thanks! :) Heidi

I did a pretty thorough examination of picture books on Columbus this fall - there aren't many true picture books on this topic to start with and msot have no information on the priests that sailed with him. The only exception I found was Leo Politi's Columbus book, The Columbus Story- which portrays Colombus' faith in God in a positive light and a priest is pictured going ashore with him. Nothing in depth. It is unfortunately out of print, but worth finding.

I wish I could help regarding a young adult reader - I'm betting some older publications (probably OOP, too) might include this. Hopefully someone will know of one.

I'm thinking this old Vision book Columbus and the New World by August Derleth would deal with the Franciscans who went along. It's OOP and isn't part of the series that has been reprinted. Has anyone found and read this one?
