**[[Irving Robbin]] —The How and Why Wonder Book of Explorations and Discoveries.
 
* “On August 2, [[1492]], the day before Colón [Columbus] sailed from Palos [Huelva, Spain], the final deadline arrived for the expulsion from Spain of its entire Jewish population. According to a royal decree . . . , all Jews, of whatever age or station or position, were to be summarily expelled. The best estimates are that some 120,000 to 150,000 people were forced to flee from homes and lands their families had occupied for generations, in some cases centuries, and to take with them only their immediate personal possessions—not, however, their gold, silver, jewels, or currency, which were to be left behind for the [Catholic] crown and its agents.”
** Note: 1492 is an important date in human history. It is usually remembered as the year in which Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain to discover the New World in the west. However, in his book The Conquest of Paradise, Kirkpatrick Sale also recalls the date for other reasons.
