Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the compelling story of the Norse discovery of America, a story that predates Columbus by centuries. The author delves into the rich history of the Norse people, their voyages, and their culture. Through detailed accounts of sagas and historical documents, the author paints a vivid picture of the Norsemen's explorations, their encounters with indigenous peoples, and their eventual settlements in Vinland, now known as Massachusetts. The author also explores the cultural and literary significance of the Norse sagas, arguing that they hold a unique place in European literature and history. This book challenges traditional understandings of the discovery of America and offers a fascinating glimpse into a world where the Vikings were the pioneers of the New World. It presents a compelling case that Columbus may have known about the Norse voyages, potentially influencing his own quest to discover the Western Hemisphere.
