A. Dunham is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume delves into the maritime expeditions of the Northmen during pagan times, exploring the establishment of governments in various territories, their discoveries, and the impacts of Norse settlers in regions such as the Orkneys, Iceland, Greenland, and North America. The book is likely to appeal to readers interested in Norse history, Viking explorations, and the early interactions of Scandinavian cultures with other nations. The opening of the second volume outlines key events between 795 and 1026, focusing on the Northmen's maritime expeditions and their colonization efforts. It recounts the establishment of a government in the Orkneys under the rule of notable jarls, detailing their conflicts, alliances, and the eventual discovery and colonization of Iceland and Greenland. The narrative also discusses the legendary voyages to North America, mentioning figures like Leif Erikson and the various fates that befell those who sought to expand Norse territories.
