Book Synopsis An Illustrated Viking Voyage by : W. Hodding Carter
Book excerpt: In 1997, journalist and history buff W. Hodding Carter, along with a band of amateur sailers, set out to retrace Leif Eriksson's journey to North America. They sailed in a handmade ship modeled after a traditional Viking "knarr." It was the first voyage by Westerners to precisely follow the Vikings' route in nearly 1000 years. The chronicle of this voyage is told in this book, through photographs and colorful running text.
