The Minnesota Vikings are a proud and storied franchise. Some of the NFL's all-time best players--and all-time great teams--have donned the purple and gold. Each season is precious to the fans, whether we won three games or thirteen, because it reminds us of special memories: trips to the stadium with parents and children, watching on TV with neighbors and friends, shared camaraderie with strangers, and more.

Author, historian, and lifelong Vikings fan Chad Israelson presents the perfect gift for Minnesota sports fans. Kings of the North collects the team's rich history and pairs it with professional, full-color photography to create a stunning book for any coffee table or bookshelf. It begins with a season-by-season summary, which includes the team's schedule and statistical leaders. Chad also shares a more in-depth view of the best seasons and the greatest wins. He analyzes key trades and draft picks, and he presents his rankings for the Vikings' all-time top players at each position--from quarterback to punt returner--based on his own historical analysis. The book is rounded out with a look at some of the most memorable players who wore each jersey number. It truly has it all for anyone who loves Minnesota's favorite team
