History of the Celts by Horace E. Winter (PDF)

Description

Named by the Greeks as Celts, the nomads who after the Ice Age set out from the steppes of Russia, and perhaps from as far afield as Persia, towards what is now Europe, could not possibly have known the impact they and their descendants would have on the world. This illustrated volume explains all, in detail.Starting as hunter-gatherers, they quickly established agricultural settlements wherever they went and by 3,000 B.C. had spread across the continent. Spurning a written language in favour of the bardic tradition, there is no written account of early Celtic history and the author of this authoritative volume explains how in relatively modern times their culture and influence has been monitored by investigation of their burial habits.By the time the Celts reached Britain they had been in touch with Mediterranean cultures and were sophisticated, as their bronze, silver and gold ware tells. They also fought with chariots, as Roman invaders learned to their cost. When converted to Christianity there was no end to their fervour and … read on to see to what extent these migrants have influenced mainland Europe, the British Isles and, through Irish emigration in particular, America.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I was hoping to discover much more about the customs and general Celtic culture, instead, I feel the book was un-structured and contained little about the culture.It also contained a multitude of facts concerning how many items of weaponry and others were found in various places around Europe which, to me, meant nothing in regards to the Celtic way of life. Ovedrall, I was disappointed with the book.
