The Help of His Wife, Who Believed
Also That the World Was Round.
Spurned Columbus On and Sent Him
Against Great Odds to Find the
Worlds Greatest Country.

By DR.. BERNARD ]. CIGRAND.
= UST now, as everybody is turning atten-
ton to Columbus because of the episodes
connected with the Columbian caravels'
unique journey to San Francisco, why
not have the vision of Columbus fulfilled by
conducting the vessels through the Panama
canal and around the world?
Have them start from Spain and, according
to Columbian ambitions, sail direct west to
the Indies and around the world to the point
of leaving"
The world would watch with intense inter
est the movements of the boats on such trip
The voyage would inspire youth with added
admiration for the heroic discoverer and be a
fulfllment of what in 1892 was pronounced
the widest prophecy of crazed mind.
And in connection with this why not. let
the world know that the love and intelligence
of a woman Columbus wife, were the inspir-
ing elements in the discovery of the western
continents?
As we get further away from the day of
discovery we become deeper interested in Co.
lumbus, we overlook many of his personal
faults and grow to love his sturdy courage
We understand him better; we are more char
liable, and we eagerly look for a true and
undisturbed outline of him who was not of
ignoble percentage but came from fearless

The love affair which soon developed be-
tween this beautiful maiden from Italy and
the future discoverer of America form a most
fascinating and thrilling story, and the nara

more to do with his finding America than any

The herald of the Spanish court as well as
the engraver of the kingdom, have left proof
that this is the family escutcheon of the Co
lumbus people The following record now in
my possession. taken from page II of the
Charlevoix history of Saint Domingo, states:
"The court engraver says: After engraving
the coat of arms of Columbus l added under
the same the ancient coat Of arms Of the
cent Columbus family of Pleisance, Italy"
And this very village contains the same
coat of arms as does the hamlet few miles
away in ancient church, while the tower
of Columbus stands so close to this edifce as
to throw shadow the sacred walls.
Photographs and sketches of the above were
kindly furnished by the authorities OF Pra-

From High Estate 10 Poverty.

This statement implies that Irving believed
some day it could be shown that the Column
bus people were of heraldc ancestry. Irving
again says: 1.-THE different families of Coz
lombo Italian for the name Columbusl seem
to be various branches of one tree. and there
is little doubt of his appertaining remotely
to the same respectable feudatory stock"

same ideas as to the world, you likely have
the same notions to love-"
81 think your suggestion is worthy of con-
sideration," said Felpa. :" He is Industrious,
as he is continually interesting the patrons of
the church in the purchase of his maps, and
we can make believe we wish one and posi-
bly, our curious visitors acquaintance can be
cultivated"
The candles were blown out and the stu
dents were soon in dreamland.
Various are the accounts of how this young
couple were brought together, but at any rate
after awhile they were married. Here, too,
we find evidence of the distinction of the
Columbus family.
Felipa was of noble parentage, her father
belonging to a great family of the nobility of
northern Italy, and it was uncommon for a
woman of such eminent family connections to
enter into marriage with, as has been said,
Columbus of lowly and unheraldic ancestry.
Columbus did possess coat of arms, and
after he had married this distinguished girl
she had the Columbian shield, as well as her
own, marshaed on one union shield, as evil
denced in the engraving 1 found relating to
her ancestry.
This marriage meant much to Columbus,
since he not only received a loyal helpmate
but came into possession of the valuable
maps, charts, and land outlines which were
the property of his father-in-law, Barthol-
omme Perestrelo the nobleman.
II Il
Wue's Dying Words Urged Him On.
These new possessions and the help of the
faithful wife did more to give us the new
world than did the jewels of Isabella Even
If the queen had refused to help him, with his
perseverance and his defiant nature he would
have continued to seek for aid, since the dying
words of his wife urged him on in the great
crusade of discovery. His wife had borne him
son, who was named Diego.
While Columbus never again married, he
had lave affair with woman of noble birth.
Her name was Beatriz Enriquez of Cordova,
and to this clandestne companionship was
born son, named Fernando, on Aug. 20,
1887. This son became the historian of his
famous father and the repeated instances
where this biographer refers to his distin-
guished and heraldic ancestry makes it clear
that Columbus came from distinguished ances-
try. -Four vGalmes he wrote about his father
are lost, but their TRANSACTIONS remain They
may turn up some day, and much valuable
history will be brought to light.
Washington Irving said in his work on the
life of Columbus: Christopher Columbus
was probably a remote descendant of the Co.
lumbus family of feudatory possessions"

COLUMBUS IN CHAINS

There is to this day tower, remna

known as the Columbus tower. 1t is evil
IDENTIFY relic of the early land possessions of
these people. OF these lordly possessions Irv-
ing writes: " Fernando Columbus states that
the family had been reduced from high estate
to great poverty by the war of the Lombards.
The feuds of those ages had broken down and
scattered many of the noblest families and
while some remained in the lordly castles and
domains others were COMPOUNDED with the hum
blest population of the cities, which latter
circumstance may have been the case with the
Colombo branch of Christophers ancestry"
All this clearly indicates that Irving was
satisfied diligent search might determine this
to be the correct version of the ancestry of
the famous navigator. Further, Irving makes
mention that there is a tradition in the CO.
lumbus family that coats of arms might be
seen on ancient manuscripts and monuments,
though he writes that he possessed no definite
facts. s
The latter deduction is certainly correct,
since while investigating the life of the dstin-
guished dental surgeon Mattelo Realdo Co
iuihpuS tspelleu OolomDO IN the Manuscripts
in my possesson) a coat of arms was found
and while it differed slightly from that of the
Christopher Columbus branch, yet this sepa-
rate grant of arms goes to show that these
people were considerably above the ordinary
when viewed from the standpoint of education
and public service.
The dentist by this name was born at Gre
mona, Italy. He discovered many anatomical
elements of both the body and the dental or
gans and was the pupil of the learned Vesa-
Illus.
Possibly the most important heraldic deduc-
ton relative to the coat of arms of the Co
lumbus family is based on what transpired at
the capital of Spain on the return Of Column
bus from his first voyage, when the kingdom
he represented was anxious to do him honor
and conferred upon him a coat of arms dis
tinctly Spanish in character. This heraldic
shield consisted of five shields and not four,
as has been the description in all works and
histories published of Columbus The first
field represented castle, the second lion.
the third some islands, the fourth five anchors
and the fifth represented what historians have
neglected to observe or have been unable to
account for.

her mother was equally interested in the fas-
cinating tales of the husband and eagerly
sought to have Felpa informed on the prog
ress and skill of the beloved sailor dad. She
was better informed on some features Of geog-
raphy than were her teachers and her ideas
were often at variance with the accepted
thought and belief.

Columbus of HeraLdic Family.

Historians have made it to appear that he
came from common ancestry, that he and his
kin were plebeians. While this is the general
character of the biographical trend, few
writer's comment on the fact that he had a
relative who was large land holder but be-
yond this all proclaim him and his kin of the
mediocre sort. Most authors and historians
hope by portraying the hero q poor boy OF
unknown, unhonored parents to give the
character a halo of the commoner type and
thereby invite sympathy and interest.
. While it is true that Columbus was poor
and that his immediate surroundings were
not of the rich kind yet that does not prevent
him from coming from heraldc family
Many families have been granted coats of
arms for the reason that some member of the
household has contributed some valuable in
yention or discovery to either the arts or the
sciences or possibly for military deeds or acts
of heroism. Such people by this governmental
recognition do not become of the nobility.
They do, however, from the date of such
grant of arms, belong to the heraldic families.
This latter distinction shows that the people
are of a talented praiseworthy type and
that some uncommon and invaluable service
has been given

prove that Columbus was of heraldic fam
lily and that he did have distinguished an
