last year I was doing some online research on tobacco, and correct me if
I'm
wrong, but when the Spaniards (in South, Central and North America) and
the
English in North America showed up they discovered the natives to be
smoking
tobacco... Cut to the chase.. There was a tobacco native to the west
Indies
that became very popular, and it was quickly planted in the various
colonies
of the various European countries, and not only was it a big hit in
London,
Paris, and Seville, it quickly became popular with the aborigines of the
Western Hemisphere to the extent that many of the original, local, tobacco
types have all but vanished.
True? False?
I believe true. But was Columbus Spanish? :-)
Contracted ships Captain, I believe
