Description
Christopher Columbus has always gotten most of the credit. He gets the fame and the holiday. But Columbus couldn't have been the first or the only discoverer. After all, when he arrived there were already people living in America. Who were they?
And what about the Vikings? Didn't they arrive before Columbus? And Amerigo Vespucci? He's the one America is named after. Wasn't he really the first?
There are lots of mysteries surrounding the discover of America. And we many never know for sure who first discovered it. But there is increasing evidence that there were probably many discoverers. Many besides Columbus, who set out for different reasons, but ended up discovering a new world--the world we call America (from Back cover)
