Westward to Vinland : Discovery of Pre-Columbian Norse House-sites in North America
Translated from the original Norwegian (into English) by Erik J Fris. 250pp. Indexed. Illustrated. Red cloth covered boards, in pictorial dust jacket (a little chipped at spine head, rubbed at base). Light ex library markings. Five centuries before Columbus made his epic journey to the New World, a party of Vikings led by Leif Eriksson set sail from Greenland to North America. This is not only an invaluable record of a major archaeological discovery but also a fascinating travel book which describes the life and character Eskimos and Indians of North America.
