Overview

Unearthing events that have barely been covered in recent published records, this account examines the conflicts of a remote Scottish Highland community in the 1900s, bringing to light a broad spectrum of social and economic concerns, including a remarkable willingness to fight for principles and the welfare of friends, neighbors, and coworkers. Exploring a wide range of experiences and loyalties, this history compares successes and failures, as well as compromises, to discover the historiographical significance of a forgotten land.
