The Vinland Sagas

I thought it was very interesting how both of these sagas told the same main story, but each saga included different details and slightly different versions of the events. This seemed like the result of the "telephone game" where something sounds completely different after being told from one person to another. I think that since the sagas both had the same main events and very good descriptions of the lands, they most likely have some sort of historical background,...the vikings did discover America! Sorry Columbus! Maybe the little details are a little scewed as the result of different peoples stressing different events when telling the stories, but the main events are still there. Overall, very interesting and entertaining sagas!
