Early Norse Visits to North America

H. Babcock William

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. What fact, if any, is behind this delightful old pagan allegory? Of course it may possibly embody a memory of summer isles of Eden really visited; or it may be no more than the play of sea - side fancy among sunset clouds, or an echo of wonder-tales older than the Odyssey. The legend, as a whole and in detail, has been exhaustively considered in a valuable work by Mr. Nutt,1 but we can get no nearer than this to the origin of its germ.
