There are a few options that I can think of. Firstly, you can get onto the Google webslite and type in his name on the search spot and see what you come up. Secondly, if you have the Microsoft Encarta then you can type in his name and see what you come up with. Finally, as in my case, I have the Encyclopedia Britainica CD, you can type in his name and you are bound to come up with a lot of information on this topic.
Personally, of the the 3 options that I gave you, given the choice, then I would come up with the Rncyclopedia Britainica CD as the one with the most reliability, with the Microsoft Encarta as a decent 2nd choice. The google option that I suggested should be ok, though it may take more time in you searching for the specifics in what you are looking for.

He didn't! He sailed to the Carribean, and mistook it for Asia.

~Yes, I do. They are called research tools. Things like an encyclopedia, a book - all kinds of neat stuff.
