Summary "The Northmen, Columbus and Cabot, 985-1503" by Julius E. Olson and Edward Gaylord Bourne is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the narratives surrounding early explorations of North America, focusing primarily on the voyages of Norse explorers, Columbus, and Cabot. It aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the early interactions between these explorers and the indigenous peoples of North America, detailing crucial events and exploration milestones. The opening of this work sets the stage for a deep dive into early American history, beginning with the account of the voyages of the Northmen, particularly emphasizing the sagas that recount their discoveries. It introduces readers to notable figures such as Eric the Red and Leif Erikson, navigating through their expeditions to Greenland and Vinland. The text details their encounters with the land, the various peoples they encountered, and the challenges they faced, establishing a foundation for discussing the subsequent expeditions by Columbus and Cabot.
