America Discovered In The Tenth Century (1838)

America Discovered In The Tenth Century is a historical book written by Charles C. Rafn in 1838. The book explores the theory that the Vikings discovered America in the 10th century, long before Christopher Columbus. Rafn presents evidence from ancient Norse sagas and archaeological findings to support his argument. The book also includes translations of several sagas, such as the Saga of Erik the Red and the Saga of the Greenlanders, which describe the Viking expeditions to North America. Rafn's work was groundbreaking in its time and helped to establish the idea of pre-Columbian contact between Europe and the Americas. Today, the book remains an important historical work for those interested in the early 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.
