Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Very Good. Reprint. 75p illustrated. Colonel John Mcdonell, sometimes McDonell, Macdonell or MacDonell, was known by the nickname "Spanish John." He immigrated to America on the ship,"The Pearl" in 1773. He settled on a piece of land owned by Sir William in the Charlotte River Valley, fifty miles south of Johnson's Bush. Colonel John Macdonell, well known in history as "Spanish John,". He was the son of John of Crowlin of the family of Scotus. His father was out with Prince Charlie in "45," and his grandfather was out with Montrose. He was sent to Scots College in Rome, in 1740, to be educated for the priesthood. After having been three years at the college he gave up the idea of becoming a priest and resolved to become a soldier instead. A Spanish army was at that time in Italy and he decided to join the Irish brigade under General Macdonald who was in command of the army. He afterwards saw a great deal of service and suffered many hardships, being dangerously wounded in one of the battles. He emigrated to America with a large following of his people in 1775, and settled in the Mohawk Valley under Sir William Johnston who was superintendent of Indian affairs for the Province of New York. Sir John Johnson succeeded his father in office, and upon the outbreak of the War, Spanish John followed him to fight in the King's Royal Regiment as one of its most distinguished officers. After the war he settled in St. Andrew's, where he died in 1810. He received from the Crown the lots 37 and 38 in the second concession of Lochiel as a reward for his services. We see, therefore, that Alexandria is linked up with the history of several wars, and if we had a detailed account of the life of Spanish John, no more interesting romance could be read. His grand-uncle, Alaistair Dubh, (Black Alex) was the greatest Highland hero of all times. He led Montrose's army through Argyle to avenge the massacre of Glencoe.

Add to basketTaschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The republication of the memoirs of Colonel John McDonell of Scottas (1728-1810) will be welcomed by Highlanders the world over. Neither romantic novel nor learned history can conjure up for us so vividly as this unashamedly prejudiced eyewitness account of the atmosphere of the aftermath of 'the '45,' the fierce loyalties and bitter hatreds, the high principles and barefaced villainy. We meet the ineffectual Stuart King, the saintly Duke of York, the unspeakable Captain Fergusson and many a minor character, each playing his part in the long drawn out British War of Succession and the death throes of Celtic society.The monograph traces John McDonell's story from his adventurous journey from Scotland to Rome at the age of 12 to his emigration to North America thirty-three years later.
