Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Vinland Voyages
The striking upheaval of folk energy known as the Viking Age is the background of our story. The books about that period increase, but we grow thereby more in wealth of theory than of fact. It is only a slight overstatement to say that the more we know about the doings of the time the less confident we are about the theories that explain the way things were done.
