In this work is brought together for the first time the
interpretation of the best authorities respecting the evidences,
historical, archaeologic, inscriptive and deductive, of Norse
discovery, occupation, and colonization of America five centuries
before the time of Columbus. The subject, though it has engaged in
a general way the attention of historians for a long time, has only
within recent years been brought into great prominence by a serious
study of the Saga writers of Iceland and Scandinavia. The beginning
of this interest dates from 1837 in which year was published, by
the Royal Danish Society of Northern Antiquaries, a large quarto
volume of old Icelandic documents, in which the proofs were set
forth that the discovery credited to Columbus was anticipated by
sea-roving Norsemen five hundred years earlier. This great work was
edited by Prof. C. C. Rafn, founder of the Royal Danish Society,
and was the result of painstaking labor and expensive research by
that very distinguished antiquarian.

first European to land on American soil
