VIKINGS IN NORTH AMERICA

Chronicles how the Vikings made the first European discovery of America, were the first settlers, and more than likely named America. Challenges the outdated views that the Vikings were a footnote in history and that they made just a handful of voyages with little impact. The Vikings traveled widely in North America, both on the east coast and in the high Arctic and Hudson Bay, and Viking presence in America lasted nearly five centuries. Contains black and white maps.
