The republication of the memoirs of Colonel John McDonell of
Scottas (1728-1810) will be welcomed by Highlanders the world over.
Neither romantic novel nor learned history can conjure up for us so
vividly as this unashamedly prejudiced eyewitness account of the
atmosphere of the aftermath of "the '45," the fierce loyalties and
bitter hatreds, the high principles and barefaced villainy. We meet
the ineffectual Stuart King, the saintly Duke of York, the
unspeakable Captain Fergusson and many a minor character, each
playing his part in the long drawn out British War of Succession
and the death throes of Celtic society. The monograph traces John
McDonell's story from his adventurous journey from Scotland to Rome
at the age of 12 to his emigration to North America thirty-three
years later.
