Book Overview

The Northmen In New England: Or America In The Tenth Century is a historical book written by Joshua Toulmin Smith in 1839. The book explores the theory that the Vikings, also known as the Northmen, had visited and settled in North America during the 10th century, long before Columbus discovered the New World. Smith delves into the Norse sagas and chronicles to uncover evidence of the Northmen's voyages to North America, particularly in the area now known as New England. He examines the archaeological evidence of Norse settlements in the region, including the famous Vinland site in Newfoundland, Canada. The book also discusses the impact of the Northmen's presence in North America, including their interactions with the indigenous peoples and the potential influence on later European explorers. Smith's writing style is detailed and scholarly, providing a comprehensive overview of the topic through a thorough analysis of historical sources. Overall, The Northmen In New England: Or America In The Tenth Century is an informative and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in early American history and the 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.
