Product Description

There was a land beyond the western seas! Of that Leif Ericsson was sure. His friend Bjarni had seen it, with its rich green forests extending to sandy shores. To put his feet down on that distant land—which today we call North America—became Ericsson’s dream, for he was a child of the sea-roving Vikings.

This books gives an authentic account of the Scandinavians who discovered Greenland and North America 500 years before Columbus—and the first European settlements there. Using a wealth of exciting source material, Elizabeth Janeway (1913—2005) brings to life this period of history—full of high adventure, duels, bloody battles, and noble men with tremendous daring and imagination.
