The Viking Discovery of America by Helge Ingstad, Review#10 by StabtheDragon#105

2023-04-01 While this book may give the appearance of a coffee table book, with high gloss paper and lots of colorful photos, this is an excellent piece of scholarship that is pretty demanding. The authors are the team that discovered the L'anse Aux Meadows site of the Vikings in Newfoundland in the early 1960's. This is an adventure story, a history, a literary critique of the Icelandic Sagas, and a record of the archeological dig.
