We will not say as the Athenians said of their nation that the first inhabitants of America were created when the sun was first lit up in the sky but we suppose they early reached this continent from the east." From the indefatigable lecturer on the topic of the supposed early Norse settlement of New England first published as early as 1839 as A Lecture on the Discovery of America by the Northmen Five Hundred Years before Columbus; Davis drew extensively on his own excavation of mounds in the Ohio Valley as well as other relics and ancient accounts to suggest Norse settlement of America from an early date.
