A Short History of the Life of Col. Sir Fitzroy Maclean, Bt.

Description From the flyleaf: Sir Fitzroy was a remarkable man, whose life spanned the reigns of 5 monarchs. Born in 1835, he first saw the ruins of Duart Castle when he was a teenager and vowed to buy it back. After an eventful life in the army, including taking part in the Crimean War and service in Ireland, Canada and the United States, he retired and fulfilled his dream of buying back the ruins of Duart and restoring the castle to its former glory. Until now there has only been one copy of his autobiography in existence, so we are delighted to now publish it in full. It is a must have for Macleans the world over, as well as anyone interested in this period of history, military studies and the social history and lifestyle of a Victorian Gentleman.
