- Synopsis
- On a chance visit to Plymouth Rock, Horwitz realizes that he's mislaid more than a century of American history. Did nothing happen between 1492 and 160-something when English colonists arrived? He decides to find out, and sets out on an epic quest to uncover the neglected story of America's founding by Europeans. He begins a thousand years ago with the Vikings, and then tells a dramatic tale of conquistadors, castaways, French voyageurs, Moorish slaves, and many others who roamed and rampaged across half the states in the current US, long before the Mayflower landed.
