Explore the captivating life of Leif Erikson

The Vikings were exceptional boat builders, seafarers, adventures, and explorers. They not only raided and attacked settlements across Europe and Britain, but they also sailed far and wide, discovering and colonizing new lands. Their impact on history is far-reaching and the mark that they made on the world, especially during the Viking Age, can still be seen today.

In this audiobook, you will learn about the world that shaped Leif Erikson and made him into an adventurous man who was not afraid to sail into the unknown to discover new lands. You will discover how he was able to cross the Atlantic on an open longboat and become the first known European to have set foot on the North American continent, almost half a millennium before Christopher Columbus.

Some of the topics covered in this audiobook include:

  • The making of the man, Leif Erikson’s formative years
  • The settlement of Greenland
  • Life in Greenland
  • Leif’s first voyage
  • Mysterious lands to the west of Greenland
  • Voyage to Vinland
  • Subsequent voyages to Vinland
  • Master shipbuilders
  • The discovery of L’Anse aux Meadows
  • The end of the Vinland Settlement
  • Leif Erikson’s place in history
  • And much, much more

Solid fiction debut--very well done. I prefer audiobook and given what a strong book this was I bet it is awesome in audiobook format! Lots of twists and turns.

Very well done, Captivating History Team.

After listening to this I can say, I don't think anything is left out here, be it the Leif Erikson, Vikings prowess as ruthless warriors, to their exploration of Island, Greenland, the North Eastern US mainland, today's Russia, countries around the Mediterranean, their gifts as tradesmen and merchants.

Fascinating look at the impact of the Vikings

This book was not as good as his previous book on the somewhat same topic which I thought was excellent. Like Captivating History’s other book which I read on the Normans, the book on the Vikings was both easy to read and provided a lot of information.

One of the best series from Captivating History.

The audible is a fair blend of history and fable, which is the best you can get from a time in which the written word was sparse and the need for embellishment was great.

A must read to know Leif Erikson.

This book is a good overview of Leif Erikson history. It goes just in-depth enough to satisfy without bogging in details. The author Captivating History is especially adept dealing with Western invasions this was clearly his interest. Also had excellent overview on the Viking Explorer

Great book! I read a lot of history.

Author of Captivating History is technical enough to give solid, reliable history, but leisurely enough that is engaging and accessible. They strikes a near perfect balance. It also has excellent history of Norse Settlement at Vinland. I have read many books on from these authors for both research and leisure, and this is the best I've come across.

C.T. is one of my favorite authors.

For me, this was by far the best history of the Leif Erikson Vikings I have read. From the get go, the author drives the story forward in a historical way, covering the start of the Viking era as we know it.

Well worth reading.

Great insights and such a comfortable flowing style it is like a conversation. The author knows his world so well that just as a question is formulating in your mind, he goes right to that topic.

One great refrence book.

Really good and informative and I will keep it , but it seemed to me that it had about 20 minuets of really saying the same thing over again and again. All in all a good informative lecture on the man who should be celebrated instead of Columbus.

Repeats itself several times
