Statue copy eclipses ruin in North Carolina landmark
A young artist from Raeign visited the fallen capital statue and created a lifelike engraving for display in the General Assembly halls. The original, burned years earlier, was once praised as a pride of the nation and earned Lafayette’s attention as a parlor ornament in the Union.

Northmen in the Tenth Century Found America, Says History
The article argues that Norse explorers reached and settled parts of North America in the 10th and 11th centuries, calling Vinland Vineland and Markland Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Martha’s Vineyard. It cites Icelandic records, Lief Eriksson’s voyages, and Thorvald and Karlsefni expeditions, noting later abandonment due to Greenland losses and lack of navigational tools.
