Fascinating stuff!
Im intrigued, let us know what the book unfolds...
Could it be connected to a post by Greensleeves in a previous thread?
I have copied and pasted the post for you to read:
Dee, I am surprised you have not posted on this subject! Recently ran across a Welshman discovering America in the1100s! Rumor has it that Madoc landed in Mobile Bay (that's in Alabama, down south and to the left of Florida on the map for the UK & Aussie members who may not be familiar with it) and that there was a tribe of Welsh-speaking Cherokee Indians. In fact, when Lewis & Clark did their transcontinental trek across the Louisiana Purchase lands in the early 1800s, their mapmaker, a John Evans (Dee, possible begats connection to you?), was a Welshman who was interested in joining the expedition for the express purpose of seing if he could find those Welsh-speaking natives. He was unsuccessful, but isn't it a lovely story anyway?
