By Carl Christian Rafn and Charles C. Rafn

Book Overview

America Discovered In The Tenth Century is a historical book written by Charles C. Rafn in 1838. The book explores the idea that the Vikings discovered America in the 10th century, long before Christopher Columbus. Rafn presents evidence from ancient Icelandic sagas and other historical documents to support his theory. He also discusses the possible routes the Vikings may have taken to reach North America and the impact of their discovery on the world. The book is a detailed and comprehensive account of the Vikings' exploration of America and their interactions with the indigenous peoples they encountered. It sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of history and challenges traditional views of the discovery of America. Overall, America Discovered In The Tenth Century is a valuable resource for anyone interested in early American history and the Viking exploration of the New World.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
