Translation of the Norwegian Account of Haco s Invasion of Scotland first issued from the press. Since then, amid much literature upon the subject, it has always held a most important place in the eyes of the student of early Scottish History. As an authentic source of information it has been eagerly sought after, but it has an additional attraction in the graphic pictures which it presents of the various perils by land and sea encountered by the hardy Norsemen. The translators valuable notes are given in extenso, and for easier reference are transferred from the end of the work and printed on the pages to which they belong. [mehr]

Freeman Wood was an American character actor of the silent and sound film eras. Born in 1896 in Denver, Colorado,[1] he would appear in his first film in 1919, The Adventure Shop. Early in his career he would have larger roles, often as the rival love interest to the main character, but his roles would get smaller and smaller as time went on. By 1933 he was relegated to what amounted to as bit parts, with his character often being unnamed.[1] Over his 25 year career he would appear in over 60 films, the last of which was in a small role in 1944's Once Upon a Time, starring Cary Grant, Janet Blair, and James Gleason.[2] [mehr]
