Looks at the life and accomplishments of explorer Lief Eriksson.
As a young man growing up in Greenland, Leif Ericsson had heard stories about a land to the west across the Atlantic Ocean. One day, he gathered a crew and set off to explore the land himself. He landed at three different places, finally settling at “Vinland”, now Newfoundland, Canada, for the winter. When he returned home, he became a hero, and inspired many other Vikings to explore the new world.
Five hundred years before Columbus, a young Viking named Leif Eriksson crossed the Atlantic and became the first-known European to set foot in North America. The tale of the crossing has been passed down for 1000 years. Now Elizabeth Cody Kimmel retells it to a new audience, painting a vivid picture of what Eriksson might have experienced. Includes reproductions of maps, illustrations, and Viking artifacts.
