Vikings in North America

Graeme Davis presents a definitive account of the discovery of America by the Vikings which pre-dated the voyage of Christopher Columbus by almost half a millenium. This revised edition of the Vikings' bold transatlantic ventures includes a new introduction that discusses important new archaeological and scientific insights since the book was first published that reshape our understanding of Norse exploration in the New World. It explores the recently uncovered Viking site on Baffin Island and genetic studies showing Native American DNA in Iceland's population.
