Excerpt from The Northmen, Columbus, and Cabot, 985-1503At its annual meeting in December, 1902, the American Historical Association approved and adopted the plan of the present series, and the undersigned was chosen as its general editor. The purpose of the series was to provide individual readers of history, and the libraries of schools and colleges, with a comprehensive and well-rounded collection of those classical narratives on which the early history of the United States is founded, or of those narratives which, if not precisely classical, hold the most important place as sources of American history anterior to 1700. The reasons for undertaking such a project are for the most part obvious. No modern history, however excellent, can give the reader all that he can get from the ipsissima verba of the first narrators, Argonauts or eyewitnesses, vivacious explorers or captains courageous. There are many cases in which secondary narrators have quite hidden from view these first authorities, whom it is therefore a duty to restore to their rightful position. In a still greater number of instances, the primitive narrations have become so scarce and expensive that no ordinary library can hope to possess anything like a complete set of the classics of early American history.The series is to consist of such volumes as will illustrate the early history of all the chief parts of the country, with an additional volume of general index. The plan contemplates, not a body of extracts, but in general the publication or republication of whole works or distinct parts of works. In the case of narratives originally issued in some other language than English, the best available translations will be used, or fresh versions made.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Covers a Lot of Ground By MW The Northmen, Columbus and Cabot, 985-1503 ed. Olson and Bourne (in the series "Original Narratives of Early American History") (1906) The Saga of Eric the Red(abt. AD1200 or before, but not before 1100); The Vinland History (of/from the Flat Island Book)(abt. AD 1380);other Vinland references. There were no longer any other people in Greenland when Eric the Red found and colonized it, but there was some evidence of previous occupation. Remember Eric the Red, Thorvald's son, Leif the Lucky, Eric's son, and Thorfinn Karlsefni, Thord's son and the land of grapes, wild sown grain, maple trees (maybe), salmon, furs, timber, and Skrellings. Columbus’s Articles of Agreement with the king and queen. Grant of Titles to Columbus by Spain. Columbus's Journal of the first voyage, as epitomized by Bartolomé de las Casas; Columbus's team visited San Salvador Island(called Watlings Island from 1680-1925), Rum Cay (called S.M. de la Concepcion), Long Is.(called Fernandina), Saomete (now Crooked Is.)(called Isabella), Las Islas de Arena, Cuba (called Juana), and Hayti (now called Hispaniola) and Tortuga Is.. Columbus was a bad boss and man because he kept two sets of books to lie to his men (and other captains?) about the distances traveled (Could he really have succeeded in tricking them, when others presumably gathered the mileage data?), stole the prize, an annuity and other things, from the man who first saw land, and kidnapped Indians starting at the first island. Letters from Columbus. Dr. Chanca’s letter on Columbus’s second voyage. Narrative of Columbus’s third voyage per Las Casas. More Columbus letters. Letter of Columbus on the fourth voyage, when he went to the Gulf of Paria (between Venezuela and Trinidad) and Honduras to Panama. Misc. letters describing John Cabot’s voyages.
