1st ChapterIt's the opening of The Sage of Erik the Red, which also recounts Leif's journeys to the New World. If that first paragraph doesn't convince you that Lief Erikson discovered America, what can?Olaf was a warrior king who was called Olaf the White. He was the son of King Ingjald Helgason, Olafsson, Guðröðarsonar, Hálfdanr Whitebone Upland kings.
Leif never has received the credit he deserves as an explorer. History is funny that way....a few events tip one way or another and the consequence is there are more kids named Chris than Leif.
