Permanent link to this version: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-410929 Henrik Williams II: 62 North American Perspectives – Suggested Runic Monuments 1 Introduction The most renowned runestone in the world is not found in Denmark, Norway, or Sweden, the runic heartland with over 95% of all the inscriptions. The most famous (some would say infamous) runic monument is, in fact, the Kensing ton stone from western Minnesota (cf. Williams 2012) (see fig. 1). It was claimed to have been found in the roots of a tree by the SwedishAmerican farmer Olof Ohman (Swedish Öhman) in the fall of 1898. It soon made the news and became intensely discussed among scholars as well as laymen. Almost all of the former have consistently declared the inscription to be modern, whereas a substantial number of nonacademics implicitly believe that the monument is medieval. The inscription on the Kensington stone is quite sensational. It reads in translation: Eight Götalanders and 22 Northmen on (this?) exploration/acquisition journey from Vinland westwards(?): We had a camp by two huts(?) one day’s journey north from this stone. -
