The fascinating theories about the Welsh Prince Madoc, believed by some to have discovered America in 1170, come to life in "Footprints of the Welsh Indians: Settlers in North America before 1492," by William L. Traxel. Wading through a tremendous amount of information and centuries of speculation and hypothesis, Traxel presents a compelling argument for what he calls "people who have no other voice" (p. 205). These mysterious people, sometimes called the "Asguaw" and the "Tallega," according to Traxel's conclusions were probably connected to the Mandan tribes who were virtually wiped out by smallpox in 1837. Including maps, drawings, and photographs that supplement an engaging presentation of information, Traxel's book is of interest to anyone who would like to look beyond the historical door that remains closed on the so-called "Welsh Indians."
