I don't know exactly how to be specific about this but I was looking for something approachable (I'm a historic newbie) that talks about the great voyages out to find new lands, trade passages and new people.

I've been reading a little about Iceland, Greenland and Canada. The Norse keep popping up. Perhaps something on them?

Again, I apologize if this isn't too specific I'm just very curious how the folks of old could strike out so boldly across the oceans with only hope in their hearts.

Thanks AH, I love this sub!
