1) When is Columbus Day celebrated? (reading for specific information) Columbus Day In the fifteenth century people were looking for an easier route to Asia. They travelled south past Africa, around the Cape Horn to the east. Christopher Columbus* talked to Queen Isabella* of Spain and said that it would be easier to sail directly west to find the rich treasures of India and Asia. A new route would be found, he said, and possible new lands for Spain. On August 3, 1492, he and ninety men went west on the flagship Santa Maria. Two other ships, the Nina and the Pinta, came with him. Three long months went by. His men became tired and sick. On October 11th Columbus saw a light. The Pinta kept going, and reported that the light was, in fact, land. The next morning they landed. Christopher Columbus and his team had expected to see people native to India, or be taken to see the great leader Khan. They called the first people they saw "Indians". From the "Indians" they learned that the island was called Guanahani. Columbus named it San Salvador. When they landed on the island that is now Cuba, they thought they were in Japan. Columbus died a rich and famous man, but he never learnt that few people knew about the discovered lands. Few celebrations marked the discovery until hundreds of years later. The continent was not even named after Columbus, but an Italian explorer named Amerigo Vespucci. In 1792, a ceremony was held in New York, honouring Columbus, and the monument of Columbus was designed. Soon after that, the city of Washington was officially named the District of Columbia* and became the capital of the United States. In 1892, the statue of Columbus was built at the beginning of Columbus Avenue in New York City. Americans might not have a Columbus Day if Christopher Columbus had not been born in Italy.
