The Killing Of The Red Fox by Seamus Carney

In 1952, the bicentenary of the Appin Murder, Seamus Carney met Lt. Gen. Sir William MacArthur whilst on holiday in Donegal. The distinguished soldier and physician held him spellbound with his story of Scotland's infamous unsolved crime – the assassination of Colin Campbell of Glenure whom Robert Louis Stevenson named The Red Fox. The author presents a superb study of the events and the courtroom battle for the life of James of the Glen, presenting a case for and against him and the other suspect, swashbuckling soldier, Allan Breck Stewart. A full account of an episode in Scottish history that has baffled historians, writers and lawmen. Includes Bibliography.

This book is from my recently purchased Gilmore Collection containing many superb books on Scottish History, Topography and Culture. Please email sales@hcbooksonline.com for a full catalogue.
