Download or read book My Dear Son written by Margaret A. Miller and published by Abbott Press. This book was released on 2015-08-14 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John McDougall, the last weaver on the Isle of Lismore in the West Highlands of Scotland, was not wealthy but his life as superintendent of the small islands Sabbath school was far from simple. As his eight children passed away or left Lismore for other parts of Scotland and America to live more prosperous lives, McDougall began writing letters to his adult son, John, who emigrated to Minnesota. The letters, which reflect his sadness after the childrens departure, provide rare insight into the daily routine and thoughts of a landless cottar who was an engaged and valued member of the Lismore community. Edited by his great-great-granddaughter, Margaret Miller, the compilation includes images of McDougalls original handwritten letters from 1870 to 1888, related photographs and maps, a timeline of events, and family trees. The letters reveal a thoughtful man who cared deeply about his family and community, and include poignant reminders of the ways in which medicine, communications, and transportation have changed throughout the centuries. As McDougall shares his thoughts and wishes, his enduring human values are brought to the forefront as this devout, principled man managed to influence the development of communities in the United States through his descendants. My Dear Son shares a compelling collection of letters from a nineteenth century Scottish island weaver to his son, letting us hear his thoughts as he continues his life in Scotland while his son emigrates to America and begins anew.

Her life changes irrevocably when Robert Cargill, a restless Scots-Irish immigrant, sweeps into it like a strong wind off Lake Michigan. Marriage to Robert brings her separation from a comfortable life with parents, siblings, and friends and carries her on a journey across prairies and mountains by emigrant train to a small ranch in California. There the hardships of raising seven children begin in a two-room adobe house where water had to be hauled daily from a neighbor’s well. During the following quarter century, Hannah sees her children educated beyond the local country school by sending them to San Jose. She helps her husband claim a homestead some twenty miles away. Often apart from him for days or weeks, she finds it necessary to care for family at home while Robert works on the homestead. Through births, deaths, separations, and physical hardships, Hannah gains strength while retaining her faith, her love for family, and her spirit of gratitude and deep joy.
