Madoc: An Essay On The Discovery Of America By Madoc Ap Owen Gwynedd In The Twelfth Century

Madoc: An Essay On The Discovery Of America By Madoc Ap Owen Gwynedd In The Twelfth Century is a historical book written by Thomas Stephens. The book explores the theory that Madoc, a Welsh prince, discovered America in the 12th century, several centuries before Christopher Columbus. The author examines the evidence and the accounts of the Welsh voyages to America, including the stories of the Mandan tribe in North Dakota, who spoke Welsh and claimed to be descended from Madoc's crew. The book also delves into the history and culture of Wales during the 12th century, providing context for the theory of Madoc's discovery. The author argues that the story of Madoc's voyage has been largely ignored by mainstream history, but that it is a crucial part of the story of America's discovery and settlement. The book is well-researched and provides a fascinating look at an alternative theory of America's discovery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
