A GREAT READ FOR YOUNG PEOPLE INTERESTED IN ADVENTURE! This is the Saga of Eirik the Red or Eric the Red. This volume is more saga, or fact, than fiction. Despite this being a fact-based saga there is still plenty of action to enthral, for Eirik the Red and his two sons, Thorstein and Leif, were definitely men of action. It charts how his family first came to Iceland, his birth, his removal from Norway, his discovery of Greenland and the birth of his, more famous son Leif (Ericson/Erickson). It also gives account for time spent in Vinland (Nova Scotia) and gives account of their interaction with and action defending against the people they called the Skrlingar, or, North American Indians. The translators have also supplied the modern geographic names of the area of Nova Scotia where dwellings were built. This volume also charts some of Leif Ericsons life. Also known as Leif the Lucky, he was the second son of Eirik the Red and certainly also displayed the Viking spirit of adventure and exploration. As a young man Leif Ericsson visited Norway, where he converted to Christianity. He was charged with returning to Greenland to convert the populace, but instead sailed further west and is believed to have landed somewhere in Nova Scotia. He spent a year in North America before returning home to Greenland, where he served as governor converting the island to the Christian belief (for a more complete account of Leif's saga try The Thrall of Leif the Lucky also republished by Abela Publishing). The film The Viking (1928) was based on the life story of Leif and incorporates a good deal of authentic Viking history.

Eiriks saga rauoa or the Saga of Erik the Red is a saga on the Norse exploration of North- America. In the saga, the events that led to Erik the Red's banishment to Greenland are chronicled, as well as Leif Ericson's discovery of Vinland the Good, after his longship was blown off course. By geographical details, this place is thought to be present-day Newfoundland, and is likely the first European discovery of the American mainland, some five centuries before Christopher Columbus's journey. The saga is preserved in two manuscripts in somewhat different versions; Hauksbok (14th century) and Skalholtsbok (15th century). Modern philologists believe the Skalholtsbok version to be truer to the original. The original saga is thought to have been written in the 13th century.

Few people recall the name of Eirik Thorvaldsson, who began life in Jaederen, Norway, around 950. When he was nine years old, his father killed a manor maybe twoand was forced to flee with his family to Iceland. Young Eirik grew up in the harsh environs of that wind-swept isle in the North Atlantic. Harsh lands breed harsh men, and Eirik fit the mold. Like his father before him, he battled with neighbors and killed several men in blood feuds. Banished from Iceland for three years, he sailed west to seek refuge in an unexplored land. After three years in exile, Eirik returned to Iceland with tales of his discoveries in that new land to the west. He called it Greenland to entice others to join him there. Around 985, he sailed west again from Iceland with twenty-five ships of colonists. History records him as the founder of the first European settlement in Greenland and the father of Leif Eriksson. People remember him best as Erik the Red.

In the year 982 Erik Torvaldsson, also called Erik the Red, left Iceland after a bloody neighbour feud. He went out to find a mysterious island to the north. He found it and called it Greenland, so that many people would follow him. Thanks to gifts and bribes, he ruled his colony unchallenged by Christian priests and kings, all the way to the beginning of the year 1000 A.D.
