This work, written and compiled by experts who translated it directly from the original Icelandic, reveals that Columbus was aware of these Sagas and that this allowed him to even calculate approximately how many days sailing he would need to cross the Atlantic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded in the Sagas are details of the first settlements, the settlers' interaction with the Indians, their trade-and, of course, their conflicts.
