America Discovered In The Tenth Century (1838)

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 possibility that Norse explorers discovered America in the 10th century, long before Christopher Columbus. Rafn draws on a variety of sources, including ancient Icelandic sagas and Norse legends, to support his theory. He also provides detailed accounts of the voyages of Norse explorers and their interactions with Native American tribes. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of Norse exploration and settlement in America. Rafn's work was controversial when it was first published, but it has since become an important resource for historians and scholars studying the early history of America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
