Erik The Red, Leif The Lucky, And Other Pre-Columbian Discoverers Of America is a historical book written by P. Oswald Moosmuller in 1911. The book provides a detailed account of the pre-Columbian discovery of America by the Vikings, focusing on the lives and achievements of Erik the Red and his son, Leif the Lucky. The book begins with an overview of the Viking age and the Norse exploration of the North Atlantic, including the settlement of Iceland and Greenland. It then delves into the life of Erik the Red, his exile from Iceland, and his subsequent discovery and settlement of Greenland. The book also covers the life of Leif the Lucky, Erik’s son, who is credited with discovering Vinland, the first European settlement in North America.In addition to Erik and Leif, the book also discusses the journeys of other pre-Columbian explorers who may have reached America before Columbus, including the Irish monk St. Brendan and the Welsh prince Madoc. The author provides evidence and theories to support these claims, as well as comparing the Norse and Celtic voyages with those of Columbus.Overall, Erik The Red, Leif The Lucky, And Other Pre-Columbian Discoverers Of America is a comprehensive and informative book that sheds light on the lesser-known history of America’s discovery and the role played by the Vikings and other explorers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
