The author traces his Campbell ancestors through at least seven
generations to Perth in central Scotland. Details on children and
grandchildren are included when known. The author also includes
interesting facts about the times and places where they lived as
well as weaving their life stories into local history when he
believes it will add value. Details on living persons is limited or
excluded. Much of the information was passed down within the
author's family and is based on original sources that have not been
made available in published works other than the author's earlier
publication ""Cottrell-Brashear Family Linage"" which contained
some Campbell history. The author includes copies of family
documents as well as family photographs. Sources are extensively
documented as footnotes at the bottom of each page. Timeline and
ancestor charts are also provided. An ""all name"" index lists page
numbers for each individual.

Writer and editor Robert A. Parker has followed up his six-volume A
Literary Cavalcade with a seventh volume. This volume of criticism
covers mainly the fiction he has read from 2013 to early 2017. His
comments are informed by his Jesuit upbringing but also by an
independent critical view that balances a moral and literary
sensibility. The writers here represent a broad range of writing
styles, cultural influences, and moral philosophies. And all are
rated on their literary achievement, the effectiveness of plot,
character, and setting, plus their recognition of the moral,
ethical, and spiritual values of mankind. Here is a unique critical
perspective that measures the meaning of literature against the
meaning of life.
