Summary "Columbus and Other Heroes of American Discovery" by N. D'Anvers is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book details the age of exploration in the Americas, focusing particularly on Christopher Columbus and other figures who contributed to the discovery and colonization of various regions, including Canada and the United States. It examines both the achievements and the contentious aspects of these explorations, weaving together narratives about these historical figures and their interactions with indigenous populations. The opening of the work sets the stage for a comprehensive discussion on prior voyages to America, suggesting that Columbus may not have been the first to discover the New World. It explores ancient accounts of lands west of Europe, introduces notable explorers such as Eric the Red and Leif the Lucky, and recounts their expeditions to regions like Greenland and Vinland. The text hints at a broader scope of exploration leading up to Columbus, emphasizing the contributions of various travelers and underscoring the complex interplay between discovery and conquest that characterized this pivotal historical period.
