The Saga of Erik Redneck claims that Erik is the 4th son of Erik The Red. He however does not appear to be mentioned in The Saga of the Greenlanders like his brothers Leif, Thorvald and  Thorsteinn. The saga states that the young Erik Erikson wandered away after a long night of drinking from his brother Leif's hall in Vinland and after many months decided to settle down in the hills of modern day West Virginia about a half mile from the Ohio River near what is now Huntington. Archeologists have recently discovered what they believe to be Erik’s double wide long house. They have found 2 fairings style boats up on blocks in what appears to have been the front yard. A runic bumper sticker reads How’s my sailing call 299 354-555-2442. There was also a proliferation of mead casks strewn in the yard with some obviously having been used as planters and spittoons.
