"Vercingetorix: Celtic Resistance Leader against Caesar" In Robert Gunn's account, he gives the researcher a Celtic foundation for building a good understanding of Scottish Culture and Society. "The Highland Clearances; Its Causes, Effects and Results." The author, Robert Gunn achieves that level of writing which gives the reader the information needed to undertstand why Scotland's Highlanders really left their beloved highlands. In my estimation a fascinating account of a very tragic era in Scottish history. Any comments or questions for the author can be directed to Robert Gunn at: Skyelander@Scotlandmail.com |
"The Scots/Irish Immigration of the 1700s"
The author goes far beyond a pioneers tale by allowing the reader to see how the Scots helped shape this new land called North America. I personally found the authors' account not only interesting but revealing as well. History tells of the importance of this group of people but not to the extent that this author does. Thank you Don.
