America Discovered In The Tenth Century is a historical book written by Charles C. Rafn in 1838. The book explores the possibility that Norse explorers discovered America in the 10th century, long before Christopher Columbus. Rafn draws on a variety of sources, including ancient Icelandic sagas and Norse legends, to support his theory. He also provides detailed accounts of the voyages of Norse explorers and their interactions with Native American tribes. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of Norse exploration and settlement in America. Rafn’s work was controversial when it was first published, but it has since become an important resource for historians and scholars studying the early history of America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The ante-C olumbian History of America has of late, more than formerly, been favoured with public attention. Facts which shed an unexpected light on this remote period, formerly supposed to be wrapped in Cimmerian darkness, have been gathered from various sources. We have been repeatedly surprised by many a hint, nay more, by many an incontestable sign, presented to us, and now at length we rely with increased confidence on those researches whose object is to brighten up and illustrate the obscure recesses of antiquit) The discovery of America in the tenth century may justly be considered as one of the very remarkable events in the history of the world; and discerning posterity will not refuse to the hardy Scandinavians who effected it, that place in the worlds annals, to which their achievements have given them an irrefragable title.
