About This Item
This is a first edition of Flora MacDonald: Her Life in the Highlands and America, by the American librarian Elizabeth Gray Vining(1902-1999).
It is a fascinating account of the life a woman who is still revered in Scotland for helping Bonnie Prince Charlie escape from the English after the disastrous defeat at Culloden. She was imprisoned in the Tower of London, released and moved to North Carolina. But her support for the British in the American War of Independence meant that she and her husband were stripped of their lands and forced to return to Scotland.
173 pages, including photos. Also included is a clipping from a magazine article about Bonnie Prince Charlie, inserted by the original owner.
The dust jacket has a lot of wear, but is unclipped. The pages have darkened a little but the book is otherwise in excellent shape.
