...province during the 1890s. There is Caroline Malterre, an empty-headed little widow and gossip who runs the village tavern. There is Alexis Labranche, the jolly mayor. And there are a couple of rascals: Notary Lepotiron and a no-good half-breed, Bill Wabo. (Any French Canadian no-account is now apt to be called a "Wabo...
...story was compounded by a methematician, not written by a writer. This Hollywood Einstein has taken a man, his wife, and their two daughters, equated them with a young obstetrician, a Frenchman, and a worldly aunt, and triumphantly made it all come out even.

Crusader Holand's case is largely a concatenation of guesses intended to account for the Minnesota relics. As for the relics themselves, it is possible that they are as bogus as the Cardiff Giant, for whether or not there were Scandinavians in the Middle West in the latter, half of the 14th Century, there certainly have been plenty of them there since the latter half of the 19th Century. If it is hard to believe that any learned wag would bother to cut a long runic inscription as a practical joke, it is also hard to believe that...
