Here was vinland: the great lakes region of America

Here was Vinland: the great lakes region of America is one of many books about Viking explorations of North America. It says a lot about our collective historical knowledge that even to this day, a lot of people are unaware of the exploration and settlement of North America by Vikings in the middle ages. Here was Vinland deals specifically with the great lakes region, and the marks left there by the Vikings. Most literature on Vinland focusses on the coastal regions where the Vikings first landed, but they explored deep inland, making uses of the numerous waterways around the great lakes.
