"The Americas have had native groups living there for more than 10,000 years, but Columbus was surely not their first visitors. This book covers a range of cultures who had seemingly been visiting the Americas since long before Columbus. Evidence is explored of potential Roman and Phoenician shipwrecks off the coast of South America through to Celtic and Norse exploration of Northern America. With source materials dating back through millennia, including very recent finds, this book will induce the reader to think about a side of history still readily dismissed by some"--

Uncharted takes you on a journey through the Americas and the impacts that were felt around the globe, from ancient times through Columbus.
It was an interesting read, and as a historian, it opened some questions that I had not considered before. I am interested in doing some further research and seeing where it goes.
Great read overall!
