The Pre-Columbian Discovery of America (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781023840712)

The Pre-Columbian Discovery of America by the Northmen, explores the evidence suggesting that Norse seafarers reached North America centuries before Christopher Columbus. Drawing upon translations from the Icelandic sagas, Benjamin Franklin DeCosta presents a compelling case for Viking exploration and settlement in what is now known as North America.

DeCosta meticulously examines historical accounts and archaeological findings to support the theory of Norse presence on the continent. This book offers readers a detailed look into the voyages of Leif Ericson and other Norse explorers, shedding light on a fascinating chapter in the history of exploration and discovery. This edition provides valuable insights into the early interactions between Europeans and the New World, challenging traditional narratives and inviting further investigation into the Norse legacy in America.
