A young Viking joins an expedition trying to find missing colonists in Greenland. They eventually end up on the North American continent, and begin exploring westward following rivers. The story ends as they find the missing colonists living with the Mandan Indian tribe. Some elect to stay, while others begin the long trek back to the sea and eventually home. The story is based on the discovery of the Kensington Stone runes found in modern-day Minnesota. näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

In 1360 AD, King Magnus Eirikson rules over a united Sweden and Norway¿a Christian Scandinavia. Dark rumor has reached the king that the colonies in Greenland have fallen back into pagan ritual, along with an alarming report that the inhabitants of the Western Settlement have mysteriously disappeared, with farmsteads and churches left deserted.
Magnus entrusts Paul Knutson with a ship and forty strong men to make contact with Greenland and to verify the truth of these stories. Among these men are Olav Sigurdsson¿a young man sailing to prove his bravery to the king and to reclaim his father¿s lost honor¿and Eirik the Laplander, deeply loyal to Olav¿s family, but a pagan viewed with suspicion by the other Christian Scandinavians. Upon confirming the disappearance of a whole settlement, Paul and his party follow a sparse trail of clues south across the seas toward ¿Vinland¿¿convinced that some of the colonists may still be alive. As the valiant band perseveres in the pursuit of answers for its king, going ever deeper south and westward into an unknown continent, Olav¿s desire for justice for his father finally merges with the desire for success in their difficult quest. The Door to the North is another stirring example of Elizabeth Coatsworth¿s authentic and captivating historical storytelling. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

He sends Paul Knutson and 40 of his best men to confirm if this is true.
If you haven’t heard of Bethlehem books, you are missing a treasure of wholesome historical adventure stories for children of all ages! Young Olav is sailing with them. His goal is to clear his father’s name after being falsely accused of pagan worship, and to prove his valor. He is young but very courageous and determined. The travel is dangerous and difficult. By sea and by land it is very slow. The author does a brilliant job of taking the reader back into this perilous time in history. The ease of our modern comforts makes life in these times unimaginable! I enjoyed experiencing what it was like to live and travel in the 14th century. It made me thankful to live in this day and time! Along with a wonderful lesson in history, there was a lot of adventure and suspense. It is rare to find fictional books written about this era but especially for children. Bethlehem books are a wealth of wholesome reading material for all ages!
