Abstract
Insists that "justice" must be done to the Norse discoverers. "The Church of Rome" knew about those discoveries but concealed knowledge of them; that organization has, after all, "the genius for deceit, for trickery," etc. Properly "the Scandinavian North will . . . resume its true rank" as the "intellectual and moral leader of the civilized world," as in Leif's day. [Sorenson]

The immediate necessity of establishing the truth p. 1-34, The manifest duty of the United States in this question p. 35-52, The evidence that the Norsemen discovered America in the tenth century p. 53-69, Roman Catholic cognizance of the fact at the time of the Norse discovery p. 70-76, All the motives for the concealment and fraud p. 77-99, Columbus' visit to Iceland p. 100-110, The Scandinavian North and Spain contrasted p. 111-146, The Norse discoverers and Columbus contrasted p. 147-164, The beneficial results to the present age and posterity (!?!) of attributing this momentous discovery to the true persons p. 165-184, The celebration of it in 1985! p. 185-194 and The righted position of the Scandinavian North after this justice has been accorded to it p. 195-208 are the 13 chapters of this book. The bibliography p. 209-213 has 99 entries, including Adam of Bremen, Ortelius, Grotius, Torfæus, Mallet, Cranz, Forster, Malte-Brun, and Abraham Mylius 1611 "Treatise de Antiquitate Linguæ Belgicæ". [Bergersen]

Bibliography: p. [209]-212.

The 1890 printing contains a 27-page appendix: "Confirmation from Roman Catholic authorities of the statements made in this book; namely, that in the Vatican and other monastic libraries of Europe, are the records and documents that will fully establish the fact that America was discovered by Leif Erikson in the year 1000, and that Norse colonies existed there for several centuries; extracts from Centennial discourse delivered by Rev. Wm. F. Clark, S.J., at St. Joseph's Church, Philadelphia, July 4th, 1876." [Sorenson]
[A]ppendix entitled "Suppressed historical facts" (by Roman Catholic Authorities) added to this edition. [Bergersen]
