History is plain and authentic on\r\nthe subject, and the same chivalric blood ebbs through the\r\nveins of the Vikings today as of yore. They have shared\r\nand do share the burdens of adventure, discovery and colonization.\r\n[Pg 15]\r\nThey have nurtured their sons and daughters with\r\npatriotic zeal, and unfurled to their love the folds of freedom.\r\nThey have braved the foam-crest waves minus compass and\r\nsympathystars of night and sun of day guided them over\r\nthe traceless billows. Their dauntless sails have wafted in\r\nsun and storm from shore to shore and woven together distant\r\nclimes.\nFrom the dawn of navigation and soldiery the Scandinavians\r\nhave evinced skill and dexterity, filled with a whim\r\nto roam, see and conquer. They were, perhaps, sometimes\r\nrough in their daring expeditions, but always actuated with a\r\nwill to plant the scepter of liberty and to raise the standard\r\nof civilization.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 42384 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Stine, Thomas Ostenson \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Mar 21, 2013 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Stine, Thomas Ostenson \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43221354578077,"sku":"gb-42384-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/42384.jpg?v=1671593718","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/scandinavians-on-the-pacific-puget-sound-gb-42384","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
