BROWN III: Choir boy; Toolmaker; Boatman; Marksman and Historian tackles just about anything even though his budding musical career terminated by an epidemic of spinal meningitis at age thirteen. All five of these missions came into play when he, reading in a small New England town library, chanced upon a series of books concerning the original discovery of America. Old New England legends hold Vinland adventures a millennia past and even thought to have been into New England itself.
His sailor career was enhanced by his all season living aboard 38 foot motor vessel “Bonnet” for eight years, round and about Narragansett Bay, living a Viking style life binding him to this enterprise to come.
A long term reading program in a small town library had earlier livened his understanding of the Sagas of Iceland, from whence the Vinland adventures had originated, stunned by detail within the numerous medieval illustrated vellums still extant in a Reykjavik museum and libraries around the world. Confounded by the extent of detail and information available within, a vivid tale of seafaring and human drama of magnificent scale of Grand Opera revealed itself. Eventually, this coalesced into such interest that the contents of this book became possible. The Author came to know ancient Vikings and locate beyond doubt their destinations in the New World.
