Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Discovery of America by Northmen, Address at the Unveiling of the Statue of Leif Eriksen: Delivered in Faneuil Hall, Oct; 29, 1887
Eriksen has been revised, and there have been added to it, in the interest of the reader, several maps and illus trations that may help to fulfil the object I had in View, - a justification of the monument to Leif in Boston. The matter omitted at the delivery, for want of time, has found its place in these pages. I have attempted to present in the address the essential story of the dis covery of America by the Northmen, omitting only the matters which properly enough may appear in an ac count of the life and usages of the people, but which do not so immediately concern the strict history of the Discovery of America.
