I went in, and found there a stoutish, middle-aged person, in a brown surtout and black tights and shoes, with no more hair upon his head (which was a large one, and very shining) than there is upon an egg, and with a very extensive face, which he turned full upon me.
Quick Answer. Christopher Columbus landed in the Bahamas on Oct. 12, 1492. He named the island San Salvador and continued on to Cuba and Hispaniola. After he returned to Spain, Columbus made a second voyage to the Caribbean. This voyage landed in Dominica on Nov. 3, 1493.
What was Christopher's Columbus' goal? To find a quick route to Asia, but he landed in north America  instead, but thought it was India.    Columbus didn't like the Native Americans that lived on the land, â¦ so he took them as slaves, killed them,and sexually assaulted them.
