To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is familiarly called the Dighton Writing Rock Inscription. It stands in the very region which the Noi'semen frequented. It is written in char- AMERICA NOT DISCOVBEED BY COLUMBUS. 61 acters wliich the natives have never used nor scnlp- tared. This inscription was copied by Dr. Danforth- as early as 1680, by Cotton Mather in 1712; if viras copied by Dr. Greenwood in 1730, by Stephen Sewell in 1768, by James Winthrop in 1788, and has been copied at least four times in the present century. The r...ock was seen and talked of by the first settlers in New England, long before anything was said about the Norsemen discovering America before Columbus.
Near the center of the inscription we read dis- tinctly, in Roman characters, CXXXI, which is 151,* the exact number of Thorfinn's party.
Then we find an N, a boat, and the Runic character for M, which may be interpreted "N(orse) seafaring M(en)." Besides we have the word NAM — took (took possession), and the whole of Thorfinn's name, with the exception of the first letter.
