(4) 4-6 Basing her account on the few known facts, Kimmel tells how Eriksson grew up in Iceland, went with his parents to Greenland after his father Erik the Red discovered it, and then, following the route reported by an old trader, found and settled Vinland, or Newfoundland. Captioned black-and-white photos and maps illustrate the story, which begins somewhat haltingly but flows into its own. Reading list. Bib., ind.
