 Amazon.com: Books: Madoc and the Discovery of America   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
The basic story Richard Deacon is investigating here is an old legend, that America may have been reached in the year 1170 A.D. (the year Henry II apparently had Thomas a Becket slain in Canterbury Cathedral), by a Welsh prince named Madoc.
This is one of those tales that is just so exciting that people seem to latch onto it, and draw upon it for their need for Mystery in life.
People who want it to be true call the legend "controversial." People who disagree with it call it "a heap of rubbish." Deacon's survey of the evidence is cooler-headed than many books out there, although he does ultimately want the tale to be true.
