Excerpt from History of the United States
The continent of America was probably unknown to toe ancients. If once known, as some have supposed, to the Car thaginians, the, Scandinavians, and the Welsh, all knowledge of it was afterwards lost. The discovery of this extensive region, constituting nearly one half of the habitable globe, was the acci dental result of the attempts, made in the fifteenth century, to find a passage, by sea, from the ports of Europe to the East Indies, whose precious commodities were then transported, over land, by a long, dangerous, and expensive route.
