	Historical Documents and Speeches - The Voyages to Vinland c. 1000
		The Saga of Erik the Red tells the Vinland story as a single expedition led by Thorfinn Karsefni, a rich trader from Iceland who married Gudrid, Leif Eriksson's widowed sister-in-law, and traveled with her to Vinland, where they lived for several years.
		In The Saga of Erik the Red, two settlements are mentioned, one in the northern part of Vinland called Straumfjord, and one in a more southerly location called Hp.
		Just as Erik the Red was able to recruit Icelanders to follow him to the 'green' land, Leif's naming of Markland and Vinland "for what they had to offer" would have encouraged others to explore and settle these new lands.

	Erik the Red - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Erik the Red (950–1003; Old Norse: Eiríkr rauði; Norwegian; Eirik Raude; sometimes Eric the Red), so-called because of his red hair and beard (perhaps even because of his bad temper), was the founder of the first Nordic settlement in Greenland.
		Erik did not take kindly to this and so slew Filth-Eyjolf and was eventually convicted of these murders and was forced into exile from Iceland.
		Then on the timeline comes Erik who traveled around the southern tip of the island, soon to be called Cape Farewell, and eventually reached a part of the coast that for the most part was devoid of any ice and subsequently had conditions similar to those of Norway that promised growth and prosperity.

		The identity of Erik the Red was actually first used by Cyclops in X-Men #51 by Arnold Drake and Jim Steranko; he pretended to be a mutant supervillain to infiltrate a group of mutants led by Mesmero and a robot pretending to be Magneto, who had captured the rest of the X-Men.
		Erik the Red (II) did not appear until years later; Cyclops wondered what the connection was between this Erik and the identity he himself had used, but the answer was never given.
		Erik the Red (II) was appointed the observer of planet Earth, its people, and its cultures, for the Shi'ar Empire.

		There are also two colorful sagas, Grænlendinga Saga (The Saga of the Greenlanders) and Eiríks saga rauða (The Saga of Eric the Red), but these were composed only in the early 13th century and are often fanciful and contradict each other in places.
		The Saga of the Greenlanders attributes the first sighting of America to Bjarni Herjólfsson who had emigrated with Eiríkr the Red to Greenland, although Bjarni didn't actually set foot on Vínland; the Saga of Eiríkr the Red, on the other hand, says that the discovery was made by Leifr the Lucky, Eiríkr's son.

		This is a wine that will cellar and age beautifully for ten to fifteen years, but also sports the spontaneity of a young thoroughbred raring to run now or to carry easily into the next decade.
