Peter Kyne is a wonderful author and it shows in his Cappy Ricks Series.  I would recommend the Cappy Ricks books to anyone who wants a wonderful traditional read.

I like the story teller format of the book.  I wish every book in the series gave an index of names and locations and their Biblical equivalents.

John Prebble continues the story of the end of highland life in: The Highland Clearances.  I was moved with the vivid retelling of actual evictions of the Highland people.  From being thrown out into the street by officers of the law or deputies, having their belonging tossed out and the roofs pulled down on their homes was heart wrenching.  The Chiefs with mounting debts and loss of authority after Culloden turned their backs on the clans and looked to the sheep and easy money.  They became more lowlander friendly and helped encourage and force emigration onto the highlanders.  The result was the spread of Scottish names and lore and culture through the former British Empire Colonies of Canada, Australia, America and South Africa.  The Clearances started in Sutherland and spread rapidly through Ross, Argyll and even the Isles.  The Highlanders' culture had changed little through the centuries and now was all but wiped out.  Cattle and men gave way to glens of Sheep.  How surprised the English and British government was when the regiments of Highland soldiers used in the American Revolution and in France in the early 1800's disappeared by the 1850's.  The Crimean war raged and the Government looked to the Highlands for soldiers and put out a call and all that answered were the bleats of Sheep.  I have read a lot Scottish history and am enamored by the Highland way of life and the battle and struggles of the clans.  I had yet to read about the end of that culture until now.  After this book I mourn their loss.  Today we have the stories and clan societies and Highland games but the glens are still bare and much today are legend and myth.  The Highland Clearances ties the history I love with the present.  I now know why my MacDonald Grandparents were from Canada.  I will not forget.

I have five books from this series and this one is great. I targeted the articles on finger weaving, primitve meals, and trekking. Because those are my main areas of interest. I belong to Royal Rangers, a youth group much like the Boy Scouts. And just like the Boy Scouts there is an elite program, (Boy Scouts have Order of the Arrow, we have the Frontiersman Camping Fellowship). We camp in these primitive fashions, so Book 1 and Book 6 have been very helpful to me in outfit design. period living, including proper meals and meal preparation, and some easy do it yourself leatherworking and possibles. I also have articles from Mark Baker and was happy to see that it wasn't just a copy article from his "Pilgrim's Journey" book. I gave this book 5 stars because it definitely is that caliber. The only book I have liked better than book 6 was the original, book of buckskinning 1. Enjoy the read, and don't forget to get out there.

On the order of Friday Night Knitting Club, this novel has even more.  This has religion and race involved and is riveting to the very end.  I particularly enjoyed learning a bit more about the Quakers' belief system.  The twists and turns in this novel make it a must read for book clubbers.

Excellent work and a compliment to other reads on the subject.  The Border Clans were tough, canny and unique in their way as they were molded by living on the doorstep to England.
This is good history and a great tale.

Glendyne Wergland is an authority on Eastern Shakers.  I have read a number of her books and papers and find them all to be well researched and written.

This particular book, as the sub-title indicates, is an effort to explain the issue of gender equality within the Shaker sect.  It is an interesting story of women earning positions of leadership beyond what one might expect from the general social theories of America in the Nineteenth Century.  It provides a description of women who were certainly capable of leadership helped greatly by a dearth of strong male leadership. This situation was to grow over time.

A good book.

Very interesting book in terms of information about competing tribes in the middle east in this time period.  Also very inspirational in terms of the influence of Yeshua in teaching love and forgiveness.  The only reason I rated it just 3 stars is that I am not a big fan of epic books that have adventures with many characters and sites.  If that is your thing, I would definitely recommend it.

With wit, the author explores the distinctions between the Highlands and Lowlands, the solidarity of its cities and its castles, and the beauty of the scenery from the wilder north to the gentle, comely, rolling border country and the rugged islands. He explores its traditions, eccentricities, and contradictions: clans, kilts, tartans, and bagpipes; golf, dances, and Highland games as well as education, religion and politics and much much more.

Hey it looks like we are the gathering of the tribes of Israel. We are clearly getting the warnings (Harbingers) of ancient Israel. Huh, who knew?

I ordered this book for our Bible Study last Fall and I have to say we all enjoyed reading about all twelve women and sharing stories.
