Description
Justice Michael A. Musmanno of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court holds a copy of his book, "Columbus Was First," in which he disputes a Yale University theory that Vikings discovered America long before the Genoa navigator ever set sail. Musmanno, son of an Italian immigrant, says he studied the Vinland Map which was the basis for the Yale finding and found it full of holes--worm holes. He says the holes were faked and don't match. the Yale men say the map was bound in a volume that predates Columbus' trip by 50 years.

Photo is dated 1966.
