Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies on the Vineland Voyages Adam's account alone, brief though it is, has likewise great importance as a source of historical lore. It is, to begin with, the earliest; dating from about the year 1070, it shows the tradition to have been then still fresh and unimpaired in the Northern countries, and points back to the same period of which the Icelandic tradition relates. Then, it is independent of manuscript Icelandic literature, the trustworthiness of which it serves to assure. Two fea tures of the work must have special notice here. First, it has handed down to us knowledge of Vineland's cultivable plants, partly obscured in the Icelandic tradition. Vine land wa's remarkable for its Wild grape-vine (cites spouts hascuntur), and also for its Corn of Spontaneous Growth (fmges non seminatw). Secondly, we must bear in mind, that Adam merely speaks of the discovery of Vineland, not, as in the case of Greenland, of its colonization and the introduction of Christianity; this quite agrees with the Icelandic tradition, according to which Vineland, soon after its discovery, was abandoned by the Norsemen with out being colonized.

Download or read book The Vinland Sagas written by PENGUIN GROUP (UK) and published by ePenguin. This book was released on 1973-09-27 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most arresting stories in the history of exploration, these two Icelandic sagas tell of the discovery of America by Norsemen five centuries before Christopher Columbus. Together, the direct, forceful twelfth-century Graenlendinga Saga and the more polished and scholarly Eirik's Saga, written some hundred years later, recount how Eirik the Red founded an Icelandic colony in Greenland and how his son, Leif the Lucky, later sailed south to explore - and if possible exploit - the chance discovery by Bjarni Herjolfsson of an unknown land. In spare and vigorous prose they record Europe's first surprise glimpse of the eastern shores of the North American continent and the natives who inhabited them.

Download or read book Coming to America written by Roger Daniels and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of our generation’s best historical accounts of immigration in the United States from the earliest colonial days “From almost every corner of the globe, in numbers great and small, America has drawn people whose contributions are as varied as their origins. Historians have spent much of the last generation investigating the separate pieces of that great story. Historian Roger Daniels has crafted a work that does justice to the whole.” — San Francisco Chronicle Former professor Roger Daniels does his utmost to capture the history of immigration to America as accurately as possible in this definitive account of one of the most pressing and layered social issues of our time. With chapters that include statistics, maps, and charts to help us visualize the change taking place in the age of globalization, this is a fascinating read for both the student studying immigration patterns and the general reader who wishes to be more well-informed from a quantitative perspective. Daniels places more recent cases of migration in the Americas within the rich history of the continents pre-colonialism. This invaluable resource is filled with maps and charts designed to help the reader see patterns that surface when studying the movement of peoples over time.
Download or read book The True Story Book written by Andrew Lang and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-04-11 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is not a dragon in the collection, nor even a giant; witches, here, play no part, and almost all the characters are grown up. On the other hand, if we have no fairies, we have princes in plenty, and a sweeter young prince than Tearlach (as far as this part of his story goes) the editor flatters himself that you shall nowhere find, not in Grimm, or Dasent, or Perrault. Still, it cannot be denied that true stories are not so good as fairy tales. They do not always end happily, and, what is worse, they do remind a young student of lessons and schoolrooms... There is, to be honest, no way of getting over this difficulty. But the editor vows that he does not mean to teach anybody, and he has tried to mix the stories up so much that no clear and consecutive view of history can possibly be obtained from them; moreover, when history does come in, it is not the kind of history favoured most by examiners. They seldom set questions on the conquest of Mexico, for example.
