Book Description
These remarkable journals were taken to Canada by Christina MacGregor when she emigrated after the death of her husband. The journals are not primarily a military document. MacGregor rose through the ranks from ensign to colonel, knew his business and was conscientious in the command and care of the people under him. However, much of what he writes is for his family in Scotland and the real focus of the journals is the world around him and its people. It is incidentally that MacGregor is revealed as a dutiful and honourable man, and Christina as a devoted wife, fierce for the respect due their rank and in her love for their children. Incidental too, but unforgettable is the picture drawn of the precarious life of Europeans in lands where most of them lived only out of necessity.
Clearly MacGregor took pleasure from his writing, and so it is likely the journals, though reworked from the original notes, are not the finished product that might have emerged if he had lived to retire to his farm, Connage, and look back reflectively on his career. But for us, two centuries later, the result is a sense of immediacy that might otherwise have been lost.
This self published book contains eight maps and pictures with seven of them in color.
