St. Anthony, Newfoundland (PRWEB) December 30, 2005 -- Booksurge
announces the publication of Vinland Discovery - the Unfinished
Story, by Kent Budden.
A 1000-year old mystery solved. Learn about the discovery of the
century - the location revealed for the first European colony
established in the New World. Was Straumsfjord of the great Norse
sagas, a real colony established in Vinland around the year 1007
A.D., or was it just a myth passed down by word-of-mouth for 300
years before it was finally written down? Where is the exact location
of Straumsfjord, birthplace of Snorri, the first European child ever
born in North America nearly 1000 years ago?
Although theories abound about the location of this Viking age
community, none come close to having the incredible evidence
presented by author Kent Budden as he meticulously presents the
evidence in support of his theory. Follow along as he traces the
various pieces of evidence to uncover the exact homestead and colony
of Thorfinn Karlsefini, who led an expedition of Vikings in 1007 A.D.
to establish a colony in Vinland (Newfoundland). Read for the first
time ever where Leif the Lucky actually landed in North America in
994 A.D. The pages of this book tickle your intellect with
fascinating evidence and with copies of the ancient Norse sagas
themselves.
In Vinland Discovery - the Unfinished Story, the author has given us
an amazing story of adventure and discovery that is intriguing,
exciting and ground-breaking. It is filled with excellent
illustrations to further enhance its message.
