Extract
As a footnote to Ralph Beals’ most interesting discussion of Father Acosta's views on the peopling of the New World in the October 1957 issue of American Antiquity (Vol. 23, No. 2, pp. 182–3), one might note the claim of Thomas Gage, author of the English-American, a new survey of the West Indies, to be the first to develop thoroughly — certainly in English — the “Men out of Asia” via Bering Strait thesis.
