Uncover the Norse path to America in a careful, evidence-based history
This book presents a historical sketch of pre-Columbian discoveries in the North Atlantic, focusing on Norse explorers and their legacies. It frames the question of who reached North America first and how these early voyages shaped later ideas about exploration and the world.
Readers will explore chapters on who the Norse were, Iceland and Greenland, the ships they used, and the sagas and documents that support—or challenge—these claims. The work situates Norse journeys within a broad pre-Columbian landscape, including discussions of other claimed discoveries and the evolving understanding of early transatlantic travel.
Ideal for readers curious about the roots of American exploration and the long history of transatlantic travel.
