Seller's Description:
Very Good jacket. Berkeley. 1968. University of California Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 204 pages. hardcover. keywords: History Exploration America. DESCRIPTION-Was the Northern Atlantic, in the years before Columbus, really a mare tenebrosum, a fearsome sea? On the contrary, according to this study, it was a familiar ocean well known to voyagers from many shores. Vikings bent on conquest and settlement sailed to Iceland, Greenland, and New England. English seamen out of Bristol knew of lands to the west. Seafaring Irish monks traveled to Iceland and probably beyond. Carl O. Sauer assembles and evaluates a remarkable network of evidence in documenting his story of early Northern Atlantic sea-faring. He studies the work of Portuguese navigators and fishermen. He utilizes Bristol port records which bear on the nature of long westward voyages. He sifts out, from the legendary Norse and Icelandic sagas, what can be treated with some confidence as records of historical fact. He draws upon contemporary archaeological investigations of Norse settlements in Greenland (which endured for 500 years) and the still mysterious settlement recently unearthed at Belle Isle. To one of the great questions about early discovery, where was the land the Vikings called Vinland, Sauer reaffirms earlier beliefs that it was somewhere in the coastal area of southern New England. To the other great question, who first came to North America from Europe, he gives new support to an old surmise: the Irish. He suggests that Irish monks established a colony at Belle Isle and went on to the mainland, antedating the Norse Vinland expeditions, and leaving traces of Christian rites in Algonquin Indian religious ceremonies. This hypothesis will undoubtedly cause controversy among both scholars and public. NORTHERN MISTS combines the insights of earlier students (especially Nansen) with Sauer's own concern with plants, animals, and native peoples as well as with topography. inventory #24072.
