Berry Fell, in one of his books, mentions that the Venitii, in Gaul, had a fur tradde that died after the Roman conquest. He speculated that they were doing their trapping in the New World, because as Ceasar mentioned, they had ships designed for the Atlantic.

I like Fell's work, also Gloria Farley's

It's been a while since I read Fell and I didn't remember that detail. That's interesting. I'd like to find that and see what source he quotes--Caesar's Gallic War, I'm guessing? I happen to have that out of the library right now, I'll keep an eye out for Caesar mentioning that as I read.
