America Discovered in the Tenth Century
Could Norse explorers have reached the shores of North America a full 500 years before Columbus? Carl Christian Rafn makes a persuasive case for just such a possibility in this groundbreaking historical work. Drawing on Norse sagas, archaeological evidence, and other sources, Rafn presents a compelling argument that should be of interest to anyone fascinated by the history of early exploration and discovery.
