Author Description

Excerpt from Three Orations There was a time when Norway's fame was proudest tale on farthest shore. To be a Norseman was to be a hero none could conquer, and who was proof against all chains of slavery. Yea, soft and silken chains of woman's charms on him were spent in vain. The men were Vikings free. The maidens' bosoms swelled with love and longing for a wild and war-like life.
