Reading Blood on the Marsh may be challenging because of its length and its chronological structure. That's why the author has separated its components into shorter, more sharply focused books with more emphasis on documented historical facts. The books in the Blood on the Marsh Series are:

Mr. McIntosh's Family: The Mackintosh Clan and the McIntosh Family in the Jacobite Risings, the Settlement of Darien, Georgia, and the Struggle for the Colonial American southern frontier

Naught Left but Sorrow: MacDonald Families in the Jacobite Risings and the American Revolution

This Cursed War: Lachlan McIntosh in the American Revolution

Fighting the Battles of America: John McIntosh in the American Revolution, the East Florida Rebellions, and the War of 1812

The 71st Highlanders in the American Revolution. (Note: MacDonalds and Mackintoshes served in the 71st Regiment.)

Fort Morris Battleground: An illustrated guide to a Revolutionary War site at Sunbury Georgia

Savannah, Augusta & Brier Creek: The conquest of Georgia in the American Revolution

Brier Creek Battleground: A Revolutionary War site beside the Savannah River

The sprawling epic Blood on the Marsh chronicles the legendary adventures of Mackintosh and MacDonald families in the Jacobite Risings in Scotland, the military colonization of Georgia, the struggle for the Colonial American southern frontier, and the American Revolution. To do all that requires a book 548 pages long. The Mackintoshes and MacDonalds featured in the book include:

General Lachlan McIntosh, who held important commands during the American Revolution;

Flora MacDonald, who witnessed both the Jacobite Rising of 1745 and the American Revolution;

Roderick Rory McIntosh, a colorful character in the settlement of Darien and in the American Revolution;

Anne Mackintosh, who was called Colonel Anne when she rallied the clan for Bonnie Prince Charlie in the Rising of 1745;

Colonel John McIntosh, who was nicknamed Come and Take It for his defiant defense of the fort at Sunbury during the American Revolution;

John Mackintosh Mor, leader of the Scots Highlanders who settled Darien, Georgia, and fought in the struggle for the colonial American southern frontier;

Aeneas or Angus the 22nd Chief of Clan Mackintosh, who served in a ranger troop on the colonial American southern frontier and was caught up in the Jacobite Rising of 1745 in Scotland;

Aeneas the 23nd Chief of Clan Mackintosh, who served in the British 71st Regiment during the American Revolution;

Brigadier William McIntosh of Borlum, who led a Jacobite army in the Rising of 1715;

Sergeant M'Donald of Marion's Brigade in the American Revolution;
