Respond to this E-Letter:
Re: Father Josef Fischer, S.J.

William W. Fitzhugh has personal (and courageous) experience with battling the cult history and archaeology extolling supposed American ventures by the medieval Norse. His thoughtful, well informed review of "Maps, Myths, and Men" is therefore an honor, and I read it with gratitude and pleasure.

For the sake of order, however, it needs pointing out that I do not suggest in my book that Father Josef Fischer, S.J. "created the map to gain favor with the Nazis." I argue the exact opposite, namely that the Vinland Map was an anti-Nazi tease.

Sincerely yours,

Kirsten A. Seaver
