About this ebook
Who where the first Americans?
The story is intriguing, and the fascinating narrative will hold the reader's complete attention.
Most of the inhabitants were wiped out by plagues brought by the Europeans.
You will learn how "Indians" lived throughout the Americas before 1492 and Columbus, only isolated bits of the story have reached the popular press.
If your knowledge of the Native Americans begins and ends with what you learned in school years ago, or with the stereotypes perpetuated by Hollywood, you are in for quite a shock.
This is not a book which will please many with an agenda on either the pro-development or pro-environment side, but it will be found invaluable by those who seek a better understanding of the "New World" before the Europeans "discovered" it.

Thank you for respecting the hard work of the author.
Summer, 1492, after three months at sea, Santa Maria, the Pinta, the Nina has sailed off the Bahamas. Europe has discovered the America.
What happens next?
Conquest and colonization by settlers who remake America in their image. They advanced and destroyed. But there is another story but the animals and plants they brought here and what they found here and how the Americas were completely transformed.
It all began 500 years ago.
Christopher Columbus left his home in Italy to fight for his vision. He aimed to sail west to the riches of Asia. This is an era of discovery and lust of expansion, and it began with a vision of a queen.
In the Europe the nobles grew wealthy by trading with the east, spices and gold, gemstones and silk, the most lucrative goods. But Europeans have lost their silk rope to the Turks and foreign trade is in decline, the wealth of kings is in danger. Isabella, the queen of Spain, is desperate to find new routes to India and she has a plan.
This is the most powerful woman in Europe, a continent of expanding horizons and filled with competitive and invented souls. For 500 years, they have been building castles, palaces, and centers of trade.
Kings and popes have raised armies to fight each other and their enemies on Europe’s borders. Nowhere else a rivalry so intense, gold fever so wide spread, religious fervor and business expertise is as tightly wound as in Europe in 1491. Ideas are advancing, curiosity and the thirst for power push Europe’s limits. They are seeking riches and land, heading towards the frontiers of their world. But no one can guess, that far beyond the end of that world, lies another, which they know nothing.
The Amazon is a crowded place.
The Andes cradle a vast empire
