Download or read book The Glendale Bards written by Meg Bateman and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book marks the centenary of Neil MacLeod's death in 1913 with the republication of some of his work. It also publishes for the first time all of the identifiable work of his brother, Iain Dubh (1847 - 1901), and of their father, Domhnall nan Oran (c.1787 - 1873). Their contrasting styles mark a fascinating period of transition in literary tastes between the 18th and early 20th centuries at a time of profound social upheaval. Neil Macleod left Glendale in Skye to become a tea-merchant in Edinburgh. His songs were prized by his fellow Gaels for their sweetness of sentiment and melody, which placed a balm on the recent wounds of emigration and clearance. They are still very widely known, and Neil's collection Clarsach an Doire was reprinted four times. Professor Derick Thomson rightly described him as 'the example par excellence of the popular poet in Gaelic'. However, many prefer the earthy quality of the work of his less famous brother, Iain Dubh. This book contains 58 poems in all (32 by Neil, 14 by Iain and 22 by Domhnall), with translations, background notes and the melodies where known. Biographies are given of the three poets, while the introduction reflects on the difference in style between them and places each in his literary context. An essay in Gaelic by Professor Norman MacDonald reflects on the social significance of the family in the general Gaelic diaspora.
Download or read book The Brave Sons of Skye Scotland written by John MacInnes and published by . This book was released on 2014-05 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Isle of Skye, off the northwestern coast of Scotland, is the largest of the Inner Hebrides. "Be the many marvelous tales regarding Skye's heroes and heroines of prehistoric times true or not, a spirit of warlike enterprise has existed in the island from the earliest period of which we have any authentic record, and has been fostered by passing events (involving the strife of arms) century after century up to the present day. But it is with the share that 'the Brave Sons of Skye' took in Britain's great wars in foreign lands that this work more particularly deals." Biographical sketches, of varying length and primarily focused on military careers, are grouped by surname and place of residence. Surnames include: Beaton or Bethune, Campbell, Elder, MacAlister (tracing "their origin to Alasdair, or Alexander, a son of Angus Mor of the Clan Donald"), MacDonald, MacInnes, MacIvor, MacKinnon, MacLean, MacLeod, MacQueen, Martins, and Nicholson. Dr. John Grant, Sgt. John MacBeth, Col. Sir John MacRa, Dr. Alexander Morrison, Pvt. Hugh Robertson, the Battle of Mahidpore, the Battle of Moodkee, and the Battle of Inkerman are covered. Numerous portraits, a list of original subscribers, brief excerpts from letters and other documents, and a full-name index augment this work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1962, Alexander McQueen Quattlebaum first visited the Isle of Skye, off the west coast of Scotland. After surveying the land and finding it a stark contrast to the fertile fields of South Carolina's lowcountry, he understood why, after generations, his forbears had chosen to leave the Scottish isle and cross the Atlantic. However, over the next two decades he made annual visits to Scotland and slowly uncovered the rich history of the MacQueen and Macfarlane families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his presidency, Jimmy Carter received a comprehensive analysis of his family's genealogy, dating back 12 generations, from leaders of the Mormon Church. More recently Carter's son Jeff took over the family history, determined to discover all that he could about his ancestors. This resulting volume traces every ancestral line of both Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter back to the original immigrants to America and chronicles their origins, occupations, and life dates. Among his forebears Carter found cabinet makers, farmers, preachers, illegitimate children, slave owners, indentured servants, a former Hessian soldier who fought against Napoleon, and even a spy for General George Washington at Valley Forge. With never-before-published historic photographs and a foreword by President Jimmy Carter, this is the definitive saga of a remarkable American family.
