E. Olson's 'The Voyages of the
Northmen' in Vol. I of the 'Original Narrative of Early
American History', edited by J. F. Jameson; Fridtjof
Nansen's 'In Northern Mists'; and John Fiske's 'The
Discovery of America'. A number of general histories have
chapters bearing on pre-Columbian discovery; the most
accessible of these are: Justin Winsor's 'Narrative and
Critical History of America'; Charlevoix's 'Histoire et
description generale de la Nouvelle France' (1744),
translated with notes by J. G. Shea (1886); Henry Harrisse's
'Discovery of North America'; and the 'Conquest of Canada',
by the author of 'Hochelaga'.
There are numerous works in the Spanish, French, Italian,
and English languages dealing with Columbus and his time.
Pre-eminent among the latter are: Irving's 'Life of
Columbus'; Winsor's 'Christopher Columbus and how he
Received and Imparted the Spirit of Discovery'; Helps's
'Life of Columbus'; Prescott's 'History of Ferdinand and
Isabella'; Crompton's 'Life of Columbus'; St John's 'Life
of Columbus'; and Major's 'Select Letters of Columbus'
(a Hakluyt Society publication). Likewise in every
important work which deals with the early history of
North or South America, Columbus and his voyages are
discussed.
