John Sadler has uncovered startling new evidence about this infamous event in Scottish history. The first book on the subject for 40 years.

An historical account of the massacre, in February 1692, of the small Clan MacDonald of Glencoe by Campbell of Glenlyon's troops under orders from the English Government. It marked the beginning of the end of the clan system and the old, free Highland way of life.

'You are hereby ordered to fall upon the rebels, the MacDonalds of Glencoe, and to put all to the sword under seventy.' This was the treacherous and cold-blooded order ruthlessly carried out on 13 February 1692, when the Campbells slaughtered their hosts the MacDonalds at the Massacre of Glencoe. It was a bloody incident which had deep repercussions and was the beginning of the destruction of the Highlanders. John Prebble’s masterly description of the terrible events at Glencoe was praised as ‘Evocative and powerful’ in the Sunday Telegraph.

A novel from Susan Fletcher, author of the bestselling Eve Green and Oystercatchers.

Enemies become lovers in a divided Scotland in this “marvelous tale” of history and passion (Diana Gabaldon). From birth, Catriona Campbell and Alasdair Og MacDonald are enemies—for he is the second son of her clan’s most powerful foe. Yet from the moment they meet, they know they will lie in each other’s arms someday. Their love, though centuries forbidden, comes at the most dangerous of times, as they become pawns of war . . . and of history. For rebellion has been stirring, and under the orders of King William III, a bloody price will be paid at Glencoe . . . This “stirring” love story set against the backdrop of a notorious massacre is “well worth a Highland journey” (Kirkus Reviews). “Roberson’s world of 17th-century Scotland is atmospherically real.” —Publishers Weekly

In 1876, they wipe out General George A. Custer and his 7th Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Chief Sitting Bull and his Sioux people then flee from the United States to Canada. There, in the autumn of 1877, the Sioux are joined by the remnants of the latest Indian nation to make a stand against the US Army, the Nez Perce. Their survivors are led by Chief White Bird. A young man follows White Bird to Sitting Bull's camp. He is White Bird's close relative and aims to tell the story of the Nez Perce War from the Nez Perce point of view. This young man's name is Duncan McDonald. Descended from chiefs of the Nez Perce and from chiefs of Scotland's most formidable clan, Duncan's family - first as Highlanders, then as Native Americans - have twice been victims of massacre and dispossession. Written with the help of Duncan McDonald's present-day kinsfolk on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Western Montana, this real-life family saga spans two continents and more than thirty generations to link Scotland's clans with the native peoples of the American West.

"In 1693 Scotland, the sacred life-style of honor above all else is in jeopardy due to a monstrous treachery. MacIaian MacDonald hosted and feted Robert Campbell, but that same night, Robert's men attacked and killed most of the MacDonald clan. The small number who survived owed their very existence to the few Campbell men who still held honor as a lofty trait. Niall MacDonald has become a chieftain due to the nefarious incident and like the other survivors of his clan seeks revenge. He is too smart to openly defy the powerful Campbells, so he and his men abduct Meg and Elizabeth Campbell to hold as hostages. In spite of a bloody family feud that threatens to engulf them because they, by their births, are on separate sides, still fall in love with each other. However, in seventeenth century Scotland, love is an expensive emotion that cannot survive the feuding"--Amazon.com.

The story of the Massacre of Glencoe in 1692 is still widely told around the Highlands of Scotland. The Campbell Dragoons came, asking for shelter from the Glencoe MacDonalds.
