Excerpt from Highroads of History: Book Iva, From Earliest Times to 1603I. The people whom we speak of as the ancient Britons were Celts who invaded our islands some seven or eight centuries before-the birth of Christ. They brought with them weapons of bronze - that is, a mixture of copper and tin. With their bronze swords they were able to subdue the old inhabitants, whose only weapons were of stone. The newcomers were a much superior race to those whom they overcame, both in mind and body. They were divided into many tribes, each with its own prince or chief. At the time when the British Isles first became known to the civi lized nations of Europe, the Celts consisted of two nations the Cymry in the southern part of Britain, and the Gaels in the Highlands of Scotland and in Ireland.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
