St. Anthony, Newfoundland (PRWEB) December 30, 2005 -- Booksurge announces the publication of Vinland Discovery — the Unfinished Story, by Kent Budden.

A 1000-year old mystery solved. Learn about the discovery of the century — the location revealed for the first European colony established in the New World. Was Straumsfjord of the great Norse sagas, a real colony established in Vinland around the year 1007 A.D., or was it just a myth passed down by word-of-mouth for 300 years before it was finally written down? Where is the exact location of Straumsfjord, birthplace of Snorri, the first European child ever born in North America nearly 1000 years ago?

Although theories abound about the location of this Viking age community, none come close to having the incredible evidence presented by author Kent Budden as he meticulously presents the evidence in support of his theory. Follow along as he traces the various pieces of evidence to uncover the exact homestead and colony of Thorfinn Karlsefini, who led an expedition of Vikings in 1007 A.D. to establish a colony in Vinland (Newfoundland). Read for the first time ever where Leif the Lucky actually landed in North America in 994 A.D. The pages of this book tickle your intellect with fascinating evidence and with copies of the ancient Norse sagas themselves.

In Vinland Discovery — the Unfinished Story, the author has given us an amazing story of adventure and discovery that is intriguing, exciting and ground-breaking. It is filled with excellent illustrations to further enhance its message.
