Publisher's Synopsis
Explore the controversial topic of Viking exploration of North America in B.F. De Costa's "The Pre-Columbian Discovery of America by the Northmen." This historical analysis delves into the evidence suggesting that Norse seafarers, centuries before Columbus, reached the shores of what is now North America.
De Costa examines a range of historical sources, including sagas and other early accounts, to build a case for the Norse presence in the New World. This book invites readers to reconsider traditional narratives of discovery and to explore the possibility of a much earlier European presence on the American continent. A valuable resource for anyone interested in Viking history, exploration, and the early history of North America.
