"Rediscovering Vinland, Proof" (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781663251282)

Two websites, vinlandsite.com and Vinlandsite-Science.org have been "visited" by many since uploading of the former, which indicates a consistent, if low-key interest in the age old tales of bygone Vikings to the New World. Visitors from many nations have not yet offered any counter to the presentations of which this author is aware. Early papers were endorsed by the then President of Iceland and were also remarked in Rolex Awards for Enterprise, published in 1955. Other papers, public and private have been received mostly with neutral responses but, on the other hand, with no contradictions or counter-arguments forwarded. The Author would be happier if his enterprise had generated more discussion and counter-argument, but for some reason that has yet yet to be fathomed, the subjects of Vikings and Vinland in halls of both American and English "Academe" is almost exclusively negative; even hostile. My periodic advances to colleges and universities have all been responded to with either disregard or silent dismissal. A major English newspaper occasionally printed thoughtful and balanced articles usually followed by nothing less than hate-mail in its letter section. I know of no program or course of study anywhere in North America's educational systems, except, perhaps in some few primary schools. So open these pages not in expectation of tranquility, but of engagement. World famed Vinland will never be lost, but it may be subdued without reasoned interest of all students of History..
