Josh Johnson’s Compendium

Andrew Rowen set out to write a new story of Columbus' journey to the Americas. He was going to tell both sides of the story. His now three-volume historical fiction brings the native point of view to bear, along with Queen Isabella's.  Josh sits down with Andrew to discuss what actually happened from 1498 to 1502 and how the actions of Spain’s Queen Isabel, the Taíno Indian Chieftain Anacaona, and Columbus shaped events.
