Opis

In 1818, James Laidlaw left the Edinburgh's Castle Rock and sailed to the new world with his family. This book presents the story of the shepherds from the Ettrick Valley and their descendants who are a Spartan lot, who kept to themselves; showing off was frowned on, and fear was commonplace, at least for females.
