Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This biography, written early in the 20th century, challenges the common perception of John Graham of Claverhouse, Viscount Dundee, as a cruel persecutor of the Covenanters. The author argues that Claverhouse, while a loyal and dedicated soldier, was also a man of considerable intelligence, integrity, and compassion. The book draws on historical documents and contemporary accounts to present a nuanced and sympathetic portrait of a complex and controversial figure. From his early life in the shadow of Montrose's exploits, through his military campaigns, to his tragic death at Killiecrankie, this biography offers a fresh perspective on the life and legacy of Claverhouse.

Bookplate on fep of Josephine H. Fisher. Hew Morrison was born and registered as Hugh on 30th November 1849. Hew was born into a Gaelic speaking community and Hugh's first language would have been Gaelic. This would have been the day to day language in the family and local communities but the children were educated in English, the language of Education and officialdom. Hew was the School master at Brechin until 1885 but went on to be appointed principal librarian in 1887 at the Edinburgh Library, a position he held for 34 years. In his 34 years in post he was responsible for developing central library and five branch libraries. Hew worked closely with Andrew Carnegie the great philanthropist to set up libraries. Carnegie formed a personal friendship with Edinburgh's first City Librarian, Hew Morrison, who brought his attention to the estate at Skibo, were he would later spend his retirement. Morrison represented Carnegie at many ceremonies throughout Scotland and was entrusted with many decisions regarding the library program. John Graham of Claverhouse, 1st Viscount Dundee (c. 21 July 1648 - 27 July 1689), known as the 7th Laird of Claverhouse until raised to the viscountcy in 1688, was a Scottish soldier and nobleman, a Tory and an Episcopalian. Claverhouse was responsible for policing south-west Scotland during and after the religious unrest and rebellion of the 1670s/80s. After his death, Presbyterian historians dubbed him "Bluidy Clavers". Contemporary evidence for the fairness of this soubriquet in the Covenanting tradition is mixed. Tales of the Covenanters and Covenanter monuments hold Claverhouse directly responsible for the deaths of adherents of that movement. However, Claverhouse's own letters frequently recommended lenient treatment of Covenanters, and in 1684 he married into a prominent Covenanter family. Later, as a general in the Scottish army, Claverhouse remained loyal to King James VII of Scotland after the Revolution of 1688. He rallied those Highland clans loyal to the Jacobite cause and, although he lost his life in the battle, led them to victory at Killiecrankie. This first Jacobite rising was unsuccessful, but Claverhouse became a Jacobite hero, acquiring his second soubriquet "Bonnie Dundee". His greatest victory was won at the Battle of Killiecrankie later that year against much greater Williamite forces led by General Hugh Mackay. Scott believes that Dundee's death in victory as he led the Jacobite charge down the hill at sunset was the final desperate act of a man who was aware that he had been betrayed by Melfort, the King's adviser, and was trying to overcompensate for their lack of support. The Highlanders were completely victorious, but Dundee, in the act of encouraging his men, was pierced beneath the breastplate by a musket ball of the enemy and fell dying from his horse. Dundee reputedly asked a soldier "How goes the day?", to which the man replied, "Well for King James, but I am sorry for your lordship." The dying Dundee then replied, "If it goes well for him, it matters the less for me." The battle, disastrous as it was to the government forces, was in reality the end of the insurrection, for the controlling and commanding genius of the rebellion was no more. The death of Dundee, in the midst of the confusion of a cavalry charge, became the subject of numerous legends. He died on the battlefield and was carried the few miles to the nearby parish church of St Bride, above Blair Castle, where he was buried. Hardcover--Blue cloth binding--merits further repair.
