Show Columbus Tall, Dignified, Redheaded, Says Prof. Christopher Columbus was a redhead until middle age, but his hair had turned white by the time he made his voyage to America Amer-ica in 1492. That's the opinion of Professor Daniel Sargeant of Haverford university, uni-versity, after exhaustive research into the life of the noted explorer. "Columbus was tall and well-built, well-built, of dignified mien, with red hair and beard, a long ruddy face, clear gray eyes and acquiline nose. He evinced a taste for yellow yel-low in beads and for crimson in caps, cloaks and' shoes,", Professor Profes-sor Sargeant said. |
