Vinland

There is always more to learn, history fascinates & sets the record straight. - a reporter at large! :)

Ha, (lol) No one ate turkey on the original Thanksgiving, completely made up by the poultry industry! Turkey wasn't selling. ~ Thank you, again Su at times I write notes so quickly & it bites me in the end when I do not fix the mistakes. Also fixed the history stuff in notes section--caps ! Delighted to have inspired you poetess, I'm honored :D

Your poem and some of the comments at the blog inspired me to write my latest poem, 'echoes of lore'. Who knows whence inspiration comes? ;-)

TyVm Sam! There is more to the story if you'd like check the poem prior to this it's "A Viking Presence In North America" October Blessings! xXHugs

Ty. History can be. At this time we still question, who really were the first to discover America.

It's pre-Columbus day, just some real facts about who discovered America. Nor am I Asian, I'm giving credit where credit is due. I added notes! :)

In 1000 AD.

Yay! Me too

It was actually Peter, PAUL & Mary - the line is in the public domain. ;-)

Vinland is America & yes, I was thinking about the song by Peter, Paul & Mary. (fixed!) The Vikings were the first to discover North America, they named it Vinland, & it didn't get frost in winter nor did the grass wither, it was Valhalla meaning heaven on earth! They tricked the world, named one land Greenland but it was icy & the other Iceland, which was green to fool others not to come. Guess it explains our president wanting Greenland back, eh?(Lol) a pre-Columbus Day True-Fact!
