Author Description

Excerpt from The First Discovery of America and Its Early Civilization There appeared several years ago, in the city of Dresden, two Archæological Essays in a German newspaper of the highest literary and scientific character, written by Dr. F. Kruger, and republished in 1858 in the well-known New York Belletristic Journal. As there does not exist a reproduction of them in the English language, I have endeavored to supply the deficiency. To the material contained therein large additions - the results of my own researches - have been made. My grateful acknowledgments are due to a lady of Brooklyn for kindly revising the manuscript. That this little work may meet with a favorable reception from the classical reader, is the earnest wish of the writer.
