Abstract
This paper analyzes the very real possibility that Amerigo Vespucci did not write all of the copy in the published letters that were attributed to him. The paper contends that Vespucci may have originally written portions of those letters, but their final form was likely edited and blatantly expanded upon by unscrupulous individuals seeking profit rather than the promotion of legitimate history.
From the Paper
"Indeed, in the first place, Vespucci most certainly did not, and in particular, this paper attempts to show, could not have penned the frequently tawdry and lewd-laced letters that were attributed to him. Moreover, beyond the sex-saturated, kinky copy mixed in with the quasi-anthropological information in his letters, there are so many inconsistencies in style and reporting the letters smack of falseness. If Vespucci didn?t write ? or final edit ? the letters as they exist today, then who did?"

The paper compares and contrasts these two men and explains why although both men achieved great things, Vespucci never gained the fame that Columbus achieved.

From the Paper
"Columbus started on his second voyage in 1493 The first land sighted, and on November 3 of that year, he reached and discovered the Caribbean Islands and Jamaica. Columbus started his third voyage in 1498, discovering the Island of Trinidad which was so named by him, but falsely believed by him to be a portion of Asia as before.
"As the years went by, Columbus eventually found himself placed under arrest and jailed for allegations of mistreatment of the natives of the lands he explored and discovered, although these charges were eventually dropped and Columbus freed (Order Of The Sons Of Italy In America). By 1502, the year of Columbus' last voyage, he was in poor physical an mental health, and as a result, the voyage suffered."
