(3) YA This book's premise is that long before Columbus, other seamen explored the Americas. In his introduction Wulffson cites archaeological research stating Phoenicians and Roman Christians, as well as explorers from China, Ireland, Wales, and Africa, may have visited the Americas' shores (though he stresses that the evidence is not incontrovertible). Maps, illustrations, photographs, and sidebars enhance the highly readable text. Reading list, websites. Bib., ind.
