About This Item
Gordon Wright Publishing, 1978. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. h/b 224 pages, condition is very good, the DJ has been price clipped. Donald Macdonald has written what will surely be regarded as one of the most authoritative works ever to be published on the history of the Island of Lewis. The twenty-four chapters cover a wide variety of subjects and events from prehistoric times through the Norse period, the clan feuds and the various proprietorships up until the present day, with every aspect of life carefully examined. The many years of research involved in compiling this book was undertaken with a great affection and respect for a heritage which has long been neglected by the educational system. However, there is a stirring of life in Lewis today, and the people have a genuine desire to learn more about their forebears who contributed so much to the development of the Island with little to compensate them for their labours. This book will provide an important reference for everyone interested in the history of Lewis and establish a sound basis for further research.
