No Language! No Nation! the life and times of the Honourable Ruaraidh Erskine of Marr
Author: Gerard Cairns
Publisher: Rymour Books
ISBN: 1919628649
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
The Honourable Ruaraidh Erskine of Marr led a life very much on the move. He has left us no personal papers, although his stamp is across the personal papers of many others, and he has been written about by several eminent scholars. Erskine had his supporters, most notably the historian and Gaelic language activist, Seumas Mac A’ Ghobhainn, who hailed him as a ‘forgotten Gaelic patriot’. He has had his critics too: the BBC’s Andrew Marr, wrote that ‘in colloquial terms he was a bit of a nutter’. However, Hugh MacDiarmid said regarding Erskine: ‘Justice will be done to him yet with a biography’. This is it and it is long overdue.

Flag
Author: Marc Leepson
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1429906472
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 494
Book Description
Flag: An American Biography is a vivid narrative that uncovers little-known facts and sheds new light on the more than 200-year history of the American flag. The thirteen-stripe, fifty-star flag is as familiar an American icon as any that has existed in the nation's history. Yet the history of the flag, especially its origins, is cloaked in myth and misinformation. Flag: An American Biography rectifies that situation by presenting a lively, comprehensive, illuminating look at the history of the American flag from its beginnings to today. Journalist and historian Marc Leepson uncovers scores of little-known, fascinating facts as he traces the evolution of the American flag from the colonial period to the twenty-first century. Flag sifts through the historical evidence to--among many other things--uncover the truth behind the Betsy Ross myth and to discover the true designer of the Stars and Stripes. It details the many colorful and influential Americans who shaped the history of the flag. "Flag," as the novelist Nelson DeMille says in his preface, "is not a book with an agenda or a subjective point of view. It is an objective history of the American flag, well researched, well presented, easy to read and understand, and very informative and entertaining." "Our love for the flag may be incomprehensible to others, but at least we now have a comprehensive guide to its unfolding."--The Wall Street Journal
