The Viking discovery of America
Anna Yates1993

Over a thousand years ago, a Nordic seafarer carried off course on the North Atlantic and caught a chance glimpse of land in the far west.

The story of the Norse discovery of America, named Vínland by discoverers, around the year AD 1000 has been preserved for a millenium in the medieval Icelandic manuscripts "Saga of Eirikur the Red" and "Saga of Greenlanders". This informative and accessible book tells the story of the Norsemen in America, how they found the continent and why they did not stay.
