Scholars had long noted striking similarities be- tween the language of the Native American Algo- nquin tribes of Long Island and…Old Norse! Then a Leni Lenape Indian gave Dr. Ward of Indi- ana, as payment for medical treatment, a series of engravings on wooden tablets—the Walam Olum. These pictograms and verses were translated in 1836 by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque and de- scribed a massive migration over the ice from Greenland into the interior of North America. The mysterious disappearance of the Viking settlements in Greenland in the 14th century was now explained! Dr. Paine brings this fascinating era to vivid life in his two-volume narrative, Frozen Trail to Merica. The first volume, Talerman, concerns per- haps the most important man in Northeast Amer- ica at the time. It is a narrative version of Taler- man as he might have been when he led one of the most important migrations in history. The second volume tells how Talerman and his friends saved the people of Greenland by Walking to Merica. Join Dr. Myron Paine in his fictionalized retelling of this eye-opening epic!
