A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The ante-C olumbian History of America has of late, more than formerly, been favoured with public attention. Facts which shed an unexpected light on this remote period, formerly supposed to be wrapped in Cimmerian darkness, have been gathered from various sources. We have been repeatedly surprised by many a hint, nay more, by many an incontestable sign, presented to us, and now at length we rely with increased confidence on those researches whose object is to brighten up and illustrate the obscure recesses of antiquit) The discovery of America in the tenth century may justly be considered as one of the very remarkable events in the history of the world; and discerning posterity will not refuse to the hardy Scandinavians who effected it, that place in the worlds annals, to which their achievements have given them an irrefragable title.
