When you were in school did you learn in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue?  That’s what I recall from history class.  Christopher Columbus has been widely celebrated and honored in the US, and even has his own holiday.  However, many historical facts have emerged over the years, that have caused controversies with honoring Columbus.  Today I chat with author Andy Rowen, author of the historical fiction, Encounters Unforeseen: 1492 Retold, which dramatizes the history of Columbus’s epic voyage and first encounters with Native Americans from a bicultural perspective.
