Published to greatacclaim in 1964, The Norse Atlantic Saga is now available in an expanded edition, which takes into account the tremendous gains that have been made in Viking scholarship in the past 22 the discrediting of the Vinland Map, greatly extended knowledge of the Vikings' life in Greenland and proofthat Norsemen did indeed land and establish a settlement in L'Anse aux Meadows in the New World. For this expanded edition, Jones has largely rewritten his account of the Viking voyages, and added numerous new maps, plates, and illustrations, as well as appendices in which Robert McGhee, Thomas H.McGovern and Brigitta Linderoth Wallace, three prominent archaeologists, discuss their recent findings.
