Description:". . . Herbert especially must be believed, when he says that he found in the old Chronicles, which were open to him at Rhaglan Castle, the fact that Madoc sailed west from Abergwilly and built a fort in the land beyond the sea, where he planted a colony. . . ." Benjamin Franklin DeCosta or de Costa (1831 – 1904) was an American clergyman and historical writer, who in 1891 published a short pamphlet titled "Myvyrian Archaeology: The Pre-Columbian Voyages of the Welsh to America." In this pamphlet DeCosta discusses pre-Columbian and post-Columbian evidence for the legend of Prince Madoc, who was a Welsh prince who sailed to America in 1170, over three hundred years before Christopher Columbus's voyage in 1492. According to the story, he was a son of Owain Gwynedd, and took to the sea to flee internecine violence at home. The "Madoc story" legend evidently evolved out of a medieval tradition about a Welsh hero's sea voyage. DeCosta was a high authority on early American cartography and the history of the period of exploration. In addition to numerous monographs and valuable contributions to Justin Winsors Narrative and Critical History of America, he published The Pre-Columbian Discovery of America by the Northmen (1868); The Northmen in Maine (1870); The Moabite Stone (1871); and Verrazano the Explorer; being a Vindication of his Letter and Voyage (1880).We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
