Alexander Mackenzie was the foremost historian of Scottish families in the
19th century, and his works have well withstood the attention of the most recent
historians. He was thorough, solid and exhaustive in his research and
presentation. This title of his was originally published in 1884.
This history of the Camerons begins with a discussion of the origin of the
family and of the name and then proceeds through biographical and historical as
well as genealogical studies of the first 24 chiefs of the family. Chapter 19,
for example, concentrates upon the 'Gentle Lochiel', certainly one of the most
famous of all members of this illustrious house. There are also chapters on Dr
Archibald Cameron of Lochiel and his descendants, the Camerons of Fassiefern,
Worcester, Erracht, Inverailort, Callart, Lundavra, Glenevis, Speyside, Dawnie,
Barcaldine, Cuilchenna, Kinlochiel, Clunes, Camisky and Strone.
This, then, constitutes a full and varied history not only of the main line
of Camerons but of the cadet lines as well. Additional families which are
included in some detail include: Campbell, Drummond, Davidson, Fraser, Gordon,
Grant, Donald, Mackenzie, Mackintosh, MacLean, MacMartin, MacPherson, and
Stewart.
