The Norsemen in the West
by R. M. Ballantyne
A story of adventure and evangelization, Ballantina turns the well-known facts of the Icelandic saga into a fascinating historical fiction — a history of research and adventure, a blessed marriage, turmoil with indigenous people, and an exchange of peace — all filled with wonderful and humorous stories of everyday life around the first European breakthrough in the Americas. Scandinavians in the West last almost a thousand years, until the time of its reader Leif Eriksson and the first settlements of navigable Scandinavians. Travel from the coast of Greenland to the oldest recorded America, a country rich in lush forests, crystal clear lakes and rivers, and plenty of fish and game.
