About This Item
Victoria BC: Orca Book Publishers, 1993. Apparent First. Paperback. VG. 277 p. trade paper; VG condition, remainder mark on bottom. Includes index, bibliography and notes. If you know Ian and Sylvia's song "Four Rode By" you've heard of the wild McLeans. Mel Rothenburger, a descendant of the McLean family, has done an admirable research project, from Alexander and Christina McLean's arrival at Red River in 1812, Alexander's death at Seven Oaks, and the family's later history in BC, including the execution of Charlie, Archie, Hector and their friend Alex Hare. "They hung the boys in January eighteen eighty one
The first time in that province that they'd strung up brothers three
And their sons killed nineteen Germans cross the seas back in seventeen
One thing that's for damned sure they're a wild old family"
