Much has been gleaned about Columbus’ voyages from Bartolome’ de las Casas, the 16th-century priest who chronicled Spanish exploration. He told the world about hammocks (“very restful to sleep in”) and tobacco. But it was the admiral himself who recorded the most vivid impressions of his surroundings on these shores so far from home. “Here the fishes are so unlike ours that it is marvelous,” Columbus wrote. “And all the trees…as different from ours as day from night, and so the fruits, the herbage, the rocks, and all things.” His descriptions set European naturalists aquiver. Among his discoveries was the delicious “pine of the Indies” – the pineapple.
