Vikings or Norsemen is correct.
Now the current town and area of NA. It is nowhere near an ocean coast.
I did not see the recent article or would have asked a different question.
No hints yet.
Maybe Wade91 can answer this one.

the article was about minn site--stones were discovered many many years ago, thought to be carved by vikings, but later many experts think they were fakes, then something happenned or discovered that started speculation all again that this was a real settlement in the area.....but nothing like the other settlement along the coast,
Funny Markabilly. When I started my last post only part of your post had appeared. It is not in Minn.
The settlement I am talking about is pretty well confirmed by qualified researchers.
yes i forgot part of your question so i edited--there are some areas i know that have been 'confirmed' far further EAST and as i say, the minnie deal is still very debated
i believe the same can be said about either the irish or welsh, but one of those ( i don't remeber which) showed up long before the vikies, if the legends are to be beleived
Personally, I believe Irish sailors were landing in america for years before and after the vikes, as I know how those people are, and then add in a little alcohol, and they could end up anywhere.... :beer:
I think I know the place you're thinking of.
Seeing it's so close to home, I don't really want to answer, but I'm finding it difficult not to offer a little hint.
Wheelie-ing, West Virginia :confused:Quote:

I read a fiction book once that made reference to Viking rune-stones in Missouri. So that would be my guess.
Sorry no. If nobody gets it by tomorrow night I will start dropping hints.
I thought this would be any easy one!
Hint:
There is a drag strip and a road racing track of the same name nearby the town.
