More echoes of going berserk can be found into the modern era. Into the sixteenth century, when the Bernese went to war under their proud banner, the strongest warrior, wearing a bearskin, led the marching troop. The high bearskin hats of the palace guards in London, Stockholm, and Copenhagen originate from the tradition of bearskin warriors.4

The mountain men and rangers of the Wild West, who fought especially ferociously with the Native Americans, also tie into this tradition—possibly without being conscious of it; they liked to wear bearskins, and the legends of frontiersmen Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone tell that they had single-handedly slain a bear as children, armed with only a knife.
