Scotland and the Low Countries 1124–1994

By: Grant G. Simpson

This collection of essays presents historical approaches to the links which have existed for over 800 years between Scotland and one of the areas of continental Europe closest to her: the Low Countries. Topics include: Flemish settlers in twelfth-century Scotland; the Count of Holland who claimed the Scottish throne in 1291; the Flemish aspect of the Auld Alliance with France; the view of Scotland taken by a Netherlands-born chronicler, Jean Froissart; Scotland's late-medieval involvement in diplomacy with Guelders and in wool-exports to the Netherlands; the contacts of Scottish patrons with Netherlandish painters in the 15th and 16th centuries; Scots pursuing military careers and studies in the arts and law in the Low Countries in early modern times; parallels between Belgian Art Nouveau painting and the work of some Glasgow artists around 1900; comparisons between Scotland and the Low Countries in the 20th century in the realms of social housing and oil exploration. These varied studies add detailed background to the subject of Scotland within Europe: a question now much debated. This volume is the third in the Mackie Monographs series, based on the Mackie Symposia held in the University of Aberdeen, which have as their theme the historical study of Scotland's overseas contacts.

Conversations with General Grant

An Informal Biography

By: Thomas Grant McConnell

National Endowment for the Humanities Survey reveals that only 406 of 700 college seniors were able to answer correctly in which half-century the Civil War took place. This distressing statistic is not only an indictment of the nation's educational system, it also points an accusing finger at the textbooks & histories which line the shelves of libraries & bookstores. This book will not reform our school program. It will, however, present a different concept of the way that historical biographies may be written. In this book, the author, a retired Air Force colonel & former Director of Military History at The National War College, encapsulates the dominant personalities of the Civil War & many of the events into just 245 easily read pages. Despite its conciseness, the author analyzes Grant's attributes & failings & leads the reader through the legendary minefield of Grant myths to a clear understanding of this much maligned man. Thoroughly dissected are subjects as Grant's reputation as an alcoholic, his meteoric rise from despondent store clerk to Commanding General & the dark cloud of failure which hovered over him in civilian life. Blended with Grant's story are graphic descriptions of the bloody battles as well as his relations with Lincoln, Lee & others.
