Synopsis

In this work is brought together for the first time the interpretation of the best authorities respecting the evidences, historical, archaeologic, inscriptive and deductive, of Norse discovery, occupation, and colonization of America five centuries before the time of Columbus. The subject, though it has engaged in a general way the attention of historians for a long time, has only within recent years been brought into great prominence by a serious study of the Saga writers of Iceland and Scandin

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Rasmus B. Anderson (1846-1936) was a Norwegian-American scholar, author, and diplomat who helped popularize the study of Norse exploration in the United States. Anderson was an early advocate for the recognition of Leif Erikson as one of the first Europeans to reach North America and contributed significantly to the public awareness of Viking history.

North Ludlow Beamish (1797-1872) was an Irish antiquarian and historian known for his studies of Scandinavian history and Viking culture. His translations and research on the Norse sagas played an important role in bringing early accounts of Viking exploration to nineteenth-century readers.
