Early EXPLORER

Left Ericsson was born in Iceland
in the Tenth century. A son of Erik
the Red, who was son of one of
the original settlers of Iceland and
the discoverer of Greenland, Eric
son spent the summer of 999 in Nor
way studying at the court of King
Olaf Tryggvason where he was con-
verified to Christianity. On commits
sion of the king, he returned home
to Greenland and the following sum-
mer to preach the Christian faith
En- route he was blown off his
course and sighted land in new re-
gion. Because of the grapevines he
saw he called the new country Vim
land. From descriptions of the jour
ney and observations recorded, his
torians believe this country to have
been New England or Nova Scotia,
and as result Left Ericsson is con-
sidered by many to have been the
real discoverer of America. A few
years later expeditions left Green
land to explore the new land and
make settlements, but they were
forced to leave after three years be-
cause of attacks from what are be-
lieved now to have been Indians.
