Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Father of St. Kilda: Twenty Years in Isolation in the Sub-Arctic Territory of the Hudson's Bay Company IT was said long ago, that of the making of books there is no end. I, too, wisely or unwisely, have made a book. In the fag-end of a weary century we have attained to the prosaic faculty of being able to measure sunshine, weigh winds, and analyse stars, yet the primitive instincts of humanity are still unconquered, still unconquerable. A sun worshipper by nature and early training, I have loved dearly a life in the open air. Is it then folly, ignorance, or presumption that tempts me to become an author? My audacity stares me in the face. Yet one must accomplish something, says Goethe, nay, fail in something, to learn to know one's own capacities and those of others. We discover an unsuspected vein in us, only in beginning to work it. And so work grows out of faith, and it takes both to make a man. It is by toil alone that we arrive at our true selves. Only by polishing do we reach the peculium of a diamond - its light-giving faculty; and only by the same process do we discover the hidden powers of a man, his peculiar office and function in the world, which none other can exactly fill.

Download or read book St Kilda written by Roger Hutchinson and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The definitive history” of the mysterious, remote archipelago in the North Atlantic whose last inhabitants were evacuated nearly a century ago (Scotland on Sunday). St Kilda is the most romantic—and most romanticized—group of islands in Europe. Soaring out of the North Atlantic Ocean like Atlantis come back to life, the islands have captured the imagination of the outside world for hundreds of years. Their inhabitants, Scottish Gaels who lived off the land and sea and engaged in bird-catching on high and precipitous cliffs, were long considered to be the Noble Savages of the British Isles, living in a state of natural grace. St Kilda: A People's History explores and portrays the life of the St Kildans from the Stone Age to 1930, when the remaining thirty-six islanders were evacuated to the Scottish mainland. Bestselling author Roger Hutchinson digs deep into the archives to paint a vivid picture of the life and death, work and play of a small, proud and self-sufficient people in the first modern book to chart the history of the most remote islands in Britain.
Download or read book The History of St Kilda written by Kenneth Macaulay and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic 18th-century account of the remote Scottish archipelago is a “beautifully written . . . hugely important piece of social history” (Scottish Field). As one of the most remote corners of the British Isles, the island archipelago of St Kilda has long held a fascination for travelers from mainland Britain and beyond. Its inhabitants’ unique culture and way of life has generated an enormous amount of literature for well over a century. Kenneth Macaulay's book, based on his visit to St. Kilda in 1763, is one of the most significant works ever written about the islands. At the time of Macauley’s visit, St. Kilda’s population had dwindled to just eighty-eight. His vivid descriptions of the islanders offer rare insight into their living conditions. Macaulay also offers a wealth of information about the animals and birds found there. He writes about the sheep and cattle, and above all the wildfowl, which were used for numerous purposes, including oil, shoes and medicine, and food.
