An Enquiry into the Truth of the Tradition, Concerning the Discovery of America, by Prince Madog Ab Owen Gwynedd, About the Year, 1170
Written in the late 18th century, 'An Enquiry into the Truth of the Tradition, Concerning the Discovery of America' by John Williams presents a hypothesis that the Welsh Prince Madog ab Owen Gwynedd may have reached America around 1170, predating Columbus. The book examines historical texts, traditions, and linguistic evidence to support this claim, suggesting early interactions between Europeans and Native Americans. Williams discusses the implications of these findings on the understanding of American history and the authenticity of the Madog legend, encouraging a critical evaluation of pre-Columbian exploration narratives.
