IN-PERSON PROGRAM
A thousand years ago, Vikings landed in Canada, set up camp for a little while, and then left forever. But what if they’d stayed a little longer?
Author Hal Johnson looks at these events both from the side of history-as-it-happened (in which Vikings are a footnote in the 16,000-year history of Canada) and history-as-it didn’t. Could one small change a thousand years ago have led to mounted, armored Indigenous knights driving Pilgrims back onto the Mayflower? There’s only one way to find out!
Johnson is the author of Impossible Histories, an exploration of twenty alternate history scenarios much like this one. Join him for a brief presentation followed by a Q&A as robust as your curiosity can make it.
