HeavenShallBurn said:And another newer one that looks both controversial and interesting. No dust-jacket, title or ISBN. Talks in great detail about oddities in the archaeological record in the Americas and the possibility that various peoples may've had failed temporary settlements in the Americas pre-Columbus. Reads like an extended academic paper or maybe a doctoral thesis.
One among many. It points out a series of unattributable stone ruins and paved street on Cape Breton Island. They aren't from any of the early settlements and were in fact remarked upon by Cabot who discovered them as well as the next two explorers to stop there well before Europeans began using the location. A couple more ruins whose origin doesn't match up. Also the potential for a short-lived Chinese settlement on the West Coast. Haven't reached as far as the last part yet. This is really dense reading. I think it's somebody's doctoral thesis re-edited into book form.Banshee16 said:Such as the the Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland?

It never really clicked for me until I heard Jeff Buckley read it on "Closed on Account of Rabies", a very cool two CD set of various famous folks reading Poe. Christopher Walken reads "The Raven". Seriously.
