Modern hardcover Scholar Select facsimile reprint of Africa and the Discovery of America, Volume II by Leo Wiener, reproducing the original 1922 Innes & Sons edition. This is a fascinating historical work dealing with African influence, pre-Columbian contact theories, cotton, bead money, and related cultural/linguistic arguments about the early Americas.
Wiener was a noted Harvard scholar and linguist, and this volume remains an interesting reference for collectors of African history, African diaspora studies, early 20th-century scholarship, alternative pre-Columbian contact theories, and historical research books.
