Excerpt from History of the Camerons: With Genealogies of the Principal Families of the Name

The portion of the book devoted to the career of General Sir Allan Cameron of Erracht, has been re-written from a series of articles, on that distinguished soldier, that appeared, anonymously, in the first volume of the Celfz'c Magazine, and for the sketch of Colonel John Cameron of Fassiefern, distinguished in the same field, I am mainly indebted to the account of his life, by the Rev. Archibald Clerk, LL.D., of Kilmallie to whom I am also under Obligation for the valuable papers from which are taken the interesting Appendices at the end of the volume. My thanks are also due to Mrs. Mary Mackellar, the well-known Gaelic bard, and a few others for valuable genealogical notes, and other in formation.
