Abstract | Examines the growth of the Columbus myth and how it resulted in the establishment of two cultural and political institutions: Columbus Day and the Pledge of Allegiance. Describes the "Columbusmania", which began with Washington Irving's Columbus biography in 1828 and peaked with the Columbian Exposition in 1892. (SV) |
