An Enquiry into the Truth of the Tradition, Concerning the Discovery of America, by Prince Madog ab Owen Gwynedd, about the Year, 1170

"An Enquiry into the Truth of the Tradition, Concerning the Discovery of America, by Prince Madog Ab Owen Gwynedd, About the Year, 1170" by John Williams advances a captivating idea that shakes up the usual story of how America was found, arguing that a Welsh prince named Madog might have reached American shores way before Columbus ever set sail. The story hunts for proof using old writings, legends, and language clues to show that Welsh explorers may have met Native Americans long ago. Starting with Prince Madog's trip due to problems in Wales, the narrative uses history and language links to hint that some Native tribes spoke Welsh and had things that looked like Welsh Christian items. By looking at different historical views on who found America first, the book urges us to think about whether the Madog story could be true. Highlighting the need to check every piece of evidence, including ancient tales and writings, Williams gets ready to deeply examine if Madog really made those trips and what that means for our understanding of American history.
