Volume 1" by Paul B. Du Chaillu is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the early history, manners, and customs of the ancestors of the English-speaking nations, drawing from antiquities uncovered in various burial sites, as well as from ancient sagas and Eddas. It primarily focuses on the Viking civilization and its influence on the lands they settled, particularly in Britain. The opening of the volume sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of Norse civilization, emphasizing the wealth of archaeological evidence that paints a vivid picture of their social, political, and religious life. Du Chaillu discusses the motivations and characteristics of the Norse people, whom he describes as warlike, adventurous, and energetic, attributing their maritime prowess to their ancestry. He hints at the transformation of Britain through Viking influence, foreshadowing an extensive examination of their customs, literature, and mythology, which will be traced throughout the chapters.
