Excerpt from The Kensington Rune-Stone: An Address
The basis of the discussion has been the conditions surrounding the discovery of the stone, there being ap parently no evidence of fraud here. Among these are the fact that the stone was actually found in the ground, the veracity of the men who saw the stone and the tree, the apparent age of the tree, the weathering of the stone, the recent settlement of that locality, the unlikelihood that any of the earlier settlers of that region should have possessed the knowledge of runes, or if so had any reason for foisting such a fraud upon the public, etc. Those who have been skeptical have held that it is ab surd to suppose that a company of explorers, thirty in number, should in 1362 have succeeded in penetrating from Vinland on the Atlantic coast clear to Western Minnesota, that to do that, furthermore, in fourteen days would have been a physical impossibility; that the in scription itself looks too recent, that there is much un certainty as to the age of the tree, that the evidence is too vague and general, and that there has as yet been no thorough and scientific examination of the subject.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the Kensington Runestone, an alleged historical artifact discovered 130 years ago in Minnesota that has divided historians for decades. Through linguistic and runological analysis, the author demonstrates that the inscription's language, characters, and historical context are fundamentally incompatible with the 14th-century date claimed by its proponents. The author explores the broader historical and linguistic context of the runic script, contextualizing the Kensington Runestone within the development and usage of runes throughout Scandinavia. The book delves into the evolution of the runic alphabet and the linguistic changes that occurred in Swedish during the 14th century, demonstrating that the language of the inscription aligns with modern Swedish dialects, not the language of medieval times. Challenging the authenticity of the runestone, the author presents a compelling case based on the inscription's anachronistic language, the use of modern runic characters, and inconsistencies with the historical record. This book sheds new light on the ongoing debate surrounding the Kensington Runestone, providing a rigorous and evidence-based analysis that will appeal to historians, linguists, and anyone interested in the intersection of language, history, and archaeological controversies.
