　　Five hundred years before Columbus, a Viking woman named

Gudrid sailed off the edge of the known world. She landed in the

New World and lived there for three years, giving birth to a baby

before sailing home. Or so the Icelandic sagas say. Even after

archaeologists found a Viking longhouse in Newfoundland, no one

believed that the details of Gudrids story were true. Then, in

2001, a team of scientists discovered what may have been this

pioneering womans last house, buried under a hay field in Iceland,

just where the sagas suggested it could be. Joining scientists

experimenting with cutting-edge technology and the latest

archaeological techniques, and tracing Gudrids steps on land and in

the sagas, Nancy Marie Brown reconstructs a life that spannedand

expandedthe bounds of the then-known world. She also sheds new

light on the society that gave rise to a woman even more

extraordinary than legend has painted her and illuminates the

reasons for its collapse.
