VALIANT SCOTS

Another zestful description of a geographic area, its people and their problems is added to the Challenge series by Patricia Lauber, general editor, in this first hand account of the beauty and hardship of life in the Scottish Highlands. Succinctly it tells of the strikes against the Highlands in the past two centuries -- of timber wealth stripped away, uncontrolled emigrations, and the radical drop in acreage under cultivation.
