Reprint of the original, first published in 1882.

Excerpt from The Bridal March, Captain Mansana: Translated From the Norse This is the tradition, and it is like so many others. But something more reliable than tra dition is the fact, that in this as well as in other mountain parishes there exists, even to the present day, a lively taste for music and bal lads, and in past times it must have been still keener. Such tastes can only be preserved through those who are able to enlarge and em bellish the inherited treasure-stores, and Ole Haugen certainly possessed this power to a re markable degree.
