The Vikings in America (part 3).




Leif Eriksson in Vinland. By Monro S. Orr
Source: Mary MacGregor. Stories of the Vikings, 1908.

Leif and his crew returned to Greenland. On their way back, rescued some shipwrecked persons: a true miracle, in the middle of that sea! They sure carried high expectations, about the nice opportunities of the places they had visited. However, many times the things happen in a fanciful manner, and nobody can help that. Leif Eriksson would not see again that promised land... Maybe under his leadership, the Vikings could have been able to establish in North America. But, what would have happened as a consequence? Is very hard to know. Surely, it would have been a big impact, in those dark times of the Middle Ages.
