The Norsemen in the West, or, America before Columbus

Fictional account based on the Icelandic saga Heimskringla of the Norse discovery and settlement of America in the years 986 and 1006.

First sentence: One fine autumn evening, between eight and nine hundred years ago, two large hairy creatures, bearing some resemblance to polar bears, might have been seen creeping slowly, and with much caution, toward the summit of a ridge that formed a spur to one of the ice-clad mountains of Greenland.
