The author provides translations of several sagas that describe the Viking voyages and encounters with the indigenous people of the region. The book also includes maps and illustrations to support the author's arguments. Overall, ""The Pre Columbian Discovery Of America By The Northmen With Translations From The Icelandic Sagas"" is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of the Americas and the Vikings' role in it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
