John Macdonell of Scotus:
Correspondence and Papers 1795-1856
|
John Macdonell of Scotus was a prolific letter-writer - to and from his father, " Spanish John", brothers Miles and William of Boston, sister Penelope, his Uncle Rev. Alexander Macdonell of St. Raphael fame, Lord Selkirk and many others. We learn of life in Upper Canada in the 1800's with many references to U.E.L.'s who settled in Glengarry. His character is revealed, his work and finances, and we are left with a feeling of admiration for this 6ft 7in proud Highlander, a gentleman who was so generous, so loyal and loving to his family. The book also contains photos, and copies of personal papers pertaining to "Poplar Villa" and his general store. This book offers an important slice of early relatively unknown Canadian history as well as a close look at the mansion John "le prêtre" Macdonell built on the Ottawa river and which is still standing today, known as The Macdonell-Williamson House, ca 1817.
