Thorfinn decided to take up the quest of the new land, and in the year 1003 he went west with four vessels and 160 men and women. 38 '{J Jl few years later a large number of Norsemen settled down on this new land, which we now call Nova Scotia HE FOUND the land of which Leif had brought the first reports and built a small settlement. The climate was mild and there was little snow. The cattle could graze in the fields almost all the year round. There were vast wheat fields which apparently had p...lanted themselves. There were berries or grapes out of which wine could be made. Indeed, to the people who were obliged to live on the barren coast of Greenland it seemed that this new country was a Paradise. A son was born to Thorfinn and Gudrid and they called him Snorri. As the land grew many big trees there was wood enough for the purpose of ship- building. All in all the country might have developed as a new Norse colony, and today America might speak Icelandic rather than English, but for the inter- ference of the natives.
