Summary "Iceland: Horseback Tours in Saga Land" by W. S. C. Russell is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. This work explores the landscapes, history, and culture of Iceland, as observed through the author's extensive travels across the country during the early 1900s. The author shares his fascination with the Icelandic people, their traditions, and the enchanting scenery that defines the land, while most likely weaving in historical insights. The opening of the book sets the stage for an exploration of Iceland's unique geographical and cultural landscape. It begins with a foreword detailing the author's motivations for writing, emphasizing the lack of authoritative English accounts of Iceland and expressing a desire to share his experiences. The first chapter, titled "Historical," delves into the history of Iceland, tracing its discovery and settlement by influential Viking leaders from Norway. Russell paints a vivid picture of the land's natural beauty and the character of its people, setting the tone for an adventurous journey filled with horseback riding through Iceland's rugged terrain. This introductory section effectively invites readers to engage with the author's narratives, promising insights into the rich tapestry of Icelandic heritage and the landscapes that inspired it.
