Features:More than 1600 contemporary illustrations spread across three volumesFull-size 8 1/2″ x 11″ pagesDigitally restored and enhanced imagesEnlarged pages and images with enhanced layoutsModern retro-styled cover design for displayIntroduction by World’s Fair historian and artist, Mark BusslerHardcover and Softcover printing optionsVolume 3 features several chapters about Viking expeditions and accomplishments, poetry, and the famed Berserks.“We wonder if [Du Chaillu] saved his favorite stories for last because, in these pages (spread throughout no less than six chapters!), we learn about the Battles of Brávöll and Dúnheidi, Ragnar Lodbrok, King Halfdan, the first Jarls of Normandy, the Battle of Brunanburgh, King Svein, King Olaf, Knut, Harald Hardradi, and much more.Chapter XVII, titled Champions and Berserks, is especially interesting and filled with the kinds of flair and drama that modern audiences might expect from the Vikings. “To be considered the foremost champion or Kappi was the greatest ambition of every warrior; and to attain this proud position was no easy task among so many men who were equally brave and perfectly reckless of their lives and thoroughly skilled in the handling of weapons.”When within sight of their foe Berserks wrought themselves into such a state of frenzy that they bit their shields and rushed forward toward the attack, throwing away their arms of defense, reckless of every danger, sometimes having nothing but a club, which carried with it death and destruction.”As with the previous volumes, we endeavored to restore this fascinating series for future generations to enjoy and educate. Images have been, where necessary, enlarged and cleaned up from the contemporary master print.”Volume 3 Table of ContentsChapter 1: The Fleets of the NorthmenChapter 2: Mode of Naval Warfare of the NorthmenChapter 3: Sea BattlesChapter 4: Traders and Trading ShipsChapter 5: Debts and RobberyChapter 6: Halls and BuildingsChapter 7: Feasts, EntertainmentsChapter 8: Dress of MenChapter 9: Dress of WomenChapter 10: The BracteatesChapter 11: Occupations and Sports of MenChapter 12: Occupations of WomenChapter 13: Exercises – IdróttirChapter 14: Idróttir – Poetry, Music, and Mental ExercisesChapter 15: The Conduct of Life – The HávamálChapter 16: Sorrow and MourningChapter 17: Champions and BerserksChapter 18: Some Expeditions and Deeds of Great VikingsChapter 19: Some Expeditions and Deeds of Great VikingsChapter 20: Some Expeditions and Deeds of Great VikingsChapter 21: Some Expeditions and Deeds of Great VikingsChapter 22: Some Expeditions and Deeds of Great VikingsChapter 23: Some Expeditions and Deeds of Great VikingsChapter 24: The Discovery and Settlement of Iceland, Greenland and AmericaChapter 25: The Orkneys and HebridesAppendixAppendix II
