Vinland and Its Ruins: Some of the Evidences That Northmen Were in Massachusetts in Pre-Columbian Days is a book written by Cornelia Horsford and published in 1899. The book explores the possibility that the Northmen, or Vikings, were present in Massachusetts before Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World. Horsford examines various archaeological and historical evidence to support her theory, including the discovery of a Norse coin and the presence of ancient ruins in the area. The author also discusses the Norse sagas, which describe the Vikings' travels to Vinland, a region believed to be located in North America. Horsford's book provides a detailed and intriguing account of the possible presence of Vikings in Massachusetts and sheds light on the early history of North America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
