- Summary
- The Kensington Rune Stone has been the subject of passionate debate over its authenticity since it was discovered in the roots of a tree near Kensington, Minnesota, by Olof Ohman in 1898. Through the presentation of new evidence this book answers the many nagging questions that have eluded investigators for over 100 years. Much of this new evidence has led to the understanding of not only who carved the stone, but where they came from and why they came to North America.
