Synopsis:

Excerpt from Columbus, the Navigator: The Story of His Life and Work, Together With an Account of the Pre-Columbian Discovery of America

But it seemed to the author that at this junc ture, with the four hundredth anniversary of the Columbian re-discovery of America at hand, there was room for a sketch which should present in brief form the life-story of the great explorer, and at the same time acquaint the reader with the facts concerning the pre-columbian discoveries and voyages in the Western World by the Norse men from Iceland and Greenland in the tenth and eleventh centuries of our era.

This book explores the rich history and evolution of European exploration and discovery, with a particular focus on the Vikings and their voyages to the shores of America long before Columbus's famous journey.

The book also delves into the wider context of geographical knowledge and beliefs in the Middle Ages, shedding light on the motivations and misconceptions that shaped the European worldview during this fascinating period of history.
