From Glencoe to Stirling: Rob Roy, Campbell, and Scotland's Chivalric Age
From Glencoe to Stirling, the third volume in Sir Walter Scott's story of his beloved Scotland, recounts the momentous events that took place between the time of the Reformation and the Jacobite rising. With an emphasis on the great chivalric age of that period, these chapters demonstrate the power of the nation to shape its own destiny and to steer toward the realization of Scotland's freedom.
These stories proved to be the most intimate, most accessible, and most dramatic of all the tales Scott ever presented to his readers. From William Wallace and Robert the Bruce to John Knox and Mary Queen of Scots, from the subjugation of Rob Roy and the rising of the Jacobites to the crusade of Bonnie Prince Charlie and the quest of the Duke of Cumberland, these Tales of a Scottish Grandfather cover the entire romantic story of Scotland as a grandfather would want to tell it to his grandchildren, for Scott specifically addressed these stories to his ten-year-old grandson.
Scott focuses all of his narrative power in these tales for the sake of love - love of family, love of place, and love of legacy. The history of Scotland is the richer for it.

Cultures Collide: Native Americans and Europeans 1492-1700
Cultures Collide begins its story with a mistake, but the mistake was Christopher Columbus's. When Columbus sailed to find trade routes to Asia, he landed in the Americas instead, discovering a "new world." But this new world, wasn't so new to everyone. Native Americans had been living on this land for more than 10,000 years and they were curious about these newcomers arriving on their shores.
When these cultures collided, neither was left unscathed. Both had changes in their housing, food, animals, and trade. Read about how not every interaction was a good one, and about the spread of disease and hunger. Cultures Collide demonstrates how the early contact between Native American and European cultures would change life in the Americas forever.
