But NOT clouded with romantic notions of what he was doing here. He can be a great lesson for students. A lesson about historical myths, about differing interpretations, and about controversy in historical interpretation. Too bad I saw a blog recently that decried the real story of Columbus (and what it can really teach us) over the mythologized version she was taught when she was a child.
