@Setanta,
Considering how every country massages history to fit their agendas, and the USA is certainly no exception, they probably are worse than many, it's pretty lame to think that there is any perfect source for such a minor event.

Tales get told and retold, and each telling probably doesn't enhance the veracity of the actual event.

@Merry Andrew,

Thanks for the information for the app. I always wondered what the code looked like to build these apps. It's been an interest of mine to start doing some research and build some of these myself. Thanks for the article and letting me share.<a href="http://www.vpbridal.com/prom-dresses/">dresses for prom</a>

Don't you love their names . . . Forkbeard, Gorm the Old, Harold Bluetooth?

@High Seas,
1.) Text books are written so that they will be bought in Texas and California. They are large states that can guarantee a printing run.

2.) The Italian-American lobby is powerful.

3.) Actually, there is mention of other voyages to the New World and L'anse aux Meadows is prominent in some current texts.

@Setanta,
In those days there were no real nations, people were organized in tribes. Viking, Franks, Germans : all names for groups of tribes, not nations or nationalities.
