Opis

"I am very pleased to hear that my great-grandfather s journal is to be made available to a wider public. I have always enjoyed reading of his exploits in Canada as an officer of the 93rd (Sutherland) Highlanders, an enlightened regiment in its day, which disapproves ploughing furrows in men s backs. Stories of champagne made of parsnips, the Glengarry militia shooting the rapids to Coteau du Lac and of skirmishes in Canada were meat and drink to me, when I was subaltern in the Royal Highland Fusiliers. "I am indebted to Dr. Scott McLean for bringing this journal to publication and I hope it will give as much pleasure to others as it has given to me." - Sir Crispin Agnew of Lochnaw"
