Krueger\, 2015. \;\n\n"In 1898\, a Swedish immigrant farmer claimed to have discovered a large rock with writing carved into its surface in a field near Kensington\, Minnesota. The writing told a North American origin story\, predating Christopher Columbus¡¯s exploration\, in which Viking missionaries reached what is now Minnesota in 1362 only to be massacred by Indians. The tale¡¯s credibility was quickly challenged and ultimately undermined by experts\, but the myth took hold." --from Amazon\n\nJoin the \;Swenson Center's monthly \;book club to discuss books on Nordic topics or by Nordic authors. \;\n URL;VALUE=URI:/about-us/events/2020/nordic-book-club-january SUMMARY:Nordic Book Club\, January DTSTART:20210113T000000Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
