Discoverers Web: Irish and Vikings
In the fifth century, St. Patrick started the christening of the Irish. The Irish quickly accepted the new religion, and soon started to make voyages of their own. In 563, St. Columba established a monastery on the island of Iona, on the Scottish coast, and from Iona and other places, the Irish not only preached among the Picts, but also travelled onto the Atlantic Ocean. A famous story is the one of the voyages of St. Brendan, who travelled to the Atlantic to find the Promised Land of the Saints. [eng] |

Elisha Kent Kane
Dr. Elisha Kent Kane Charles O. Cowing Elisha Kent Kane contracted rheumatic fever during his second year of university. This doubtless led him to the pursuit of medical studies (by age twenty-two, he had published a study of early pregnancy detection in the American Journal of Medical Sciences). Because of this training, he possessed a clear understanding of the clinical implications of the persistent endocarditis left by the disease. Without the benefit of antibiotics, it was the equivalent of a death sentence. [eng] |
