CHAPTER XXVIII.
speaker_18NARRATOR
William Tell and Arnold von Winkelried.
speaker_18NARRATOR
Far up among the Alps, in the very heart of Switzerland, are three districts, or cantons, as they are called, which are known as the forest cantons, and are famous in the world's history.
speaker_18NARRATOR
About 2,000 years ago, the Romans found in these cantons a hardy race of mountaineers who, although poor, were free men and proud of their independence.
speaker_18NARRATOR
One of the Habsburgs, Albert I., claimed that the land of the forest cantons belonged to him.
speaker_18NARRATOR
He sent a governor and a band of soldiers to these cantons, and made the people submit to his authority.
speaker_18NARRATOR
In one of the forest cantons at this time lived a famous mountaineer named William Tell.
speaker_18NARRATOR
He was tall and strong.
