Description

From inside the book:

As the Museum Committee is charged with the responsibility of making a recommendation to the Society respecting the authenticity or the fraudulent origin of the Kensington Rune Stone and its inscription, it is thought best to review
somewhat carefully the facts as to the discovery of the stone. For this purpose the results of the three visits made to that locality by Prof. N. H, Winchell, investigating the subject for this Committee, will here be cast into one statement.
