He knew the earth was round, and planned a voyage west into the unknown waters of the Atlantic to reach the Indies. But it wasn't until he was 41 years old that Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain gave him the funds, the three ships, and the men to make a voyage. Even though Columbus never reached the Indies, he made a more important discovery. On October 12, 1492, he landed on an island southeast of Florida. Since he thought he had reached the Indies, he called the natives \"Indians\". Columbus made three more voyages and is credited with discovering the New World. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor almost thirty years, David Adler's Picture Book Biography series has profiled famous people who changed the world.
