What information did Christopher Columbus include in his journal

Answer:His brush with the near-mutiny of his men

He also stated that he knew the trip was divine inspiration and that he needed to go to the west indies for spreading the gospel. It is like the only what makes us comfortable to share about history makes textbooks. I am amazed at what I have not been taught and have had to learn for myself or discover by accident. We are missing so much of true history.

Does Christopher Columbus' log provide us with any useful information about the native societies of the New World?

[The following is a good example of why one must be very careful about what to believe on the internet. This reply sounds very factual but in fact Columbus' diary is NOT a primary source, and anyone who has read it would know that. "Wiki Answers", indeed.]To begin, Christopher Columbus' diary was what we historians call a Primary Source. That means that we can read exactly what Columbus wrote without any commentary or historian's viewpoints. With that being said, the most valuable information we can glean from Columbus' diary is his viewpoints about the new world. Primary Sources are oftentimes the most useful in gaining access to the author's culture and that authors cultural viewpoint on a particular subject. I myself have not read the diary of Columbus in the New World, but many primary source documents regarding the New World are very similar; they all present the society (ies) in question with a European perspective, oftentimes comparing negatively Native American Societies to their own. This is problematic because when Euros compare a society to their own, the Native Society is often presented as savage, the women as oversexualized and enslaved, unchristian; and thus this viewpoint becomes a way for an excuse to easily conquer a people or peoples.


Is the internet primary or secondary source?

It depends, the format of the source is not what makes it primary or secondary, it is the nature of the source itself. Whether is is in a book, on a respectable website, in a magazine, in a journal, or on a bit of paper has no bearing. What matters is who wrote it and when. Regardless of location, the Declaration of Independence is a primary source, as are many diarys. If you read the Magna Carta online, it is still a primary source. But always take extreme caution with internet souces, because you have much less assurance that they have not altered the original document.
