Document Summary

Everything reported were assume to be true. Good memory oral recap of the adventures. Older than erik the red but written independently of each other. Story about people going there and killing self more. Descendant of the first settlers of iceland. Not so much of a viking because. Failed voyage because fail to prime viking"s directive. Greenland doesn"t provide proper timber thus lack of boats. 30 men will be away of the colony for quite some time. Erik the red is a better leader thus he should lead the expedition. Erik the red falls of a horse because the horse stumbles. Erik the red sees this as running out of luck. Erik is no longer blessed by the magic as the leader. Died later and the saga becomes the story of his sons. Hid the family treasures because afraid he wouldn"t come back. Horse stumble = sign of bad behaviour. Why is he called leif the lucky.
