Calvert Of Strathore is a historical fiction novel written by Carter Goodloe. The story is set in Scotland in the 18th century and follows the life of Calvert, a young man who inherits the estate of Strathore after his father's death. Calvert is a proud and ambitious man who dreams of restoring the estate to its former glory and becoming a respected member of the local community.However, Calvert's plans are soon thwarted by the arrival of his father's old nemesis, Lord Dunbar, who is determined to take control of the estate and ruin Calvert's reputation. With the help of his loyal friends and allies, Calvert must fight to defend his inheritance and prove his worth to the people of Strathore.As the story unfolds, Calvert faces many challenges and obstacles, including a love triangle, political intrigue, and a dangerous conspiracy that threatens to destroy everything he holds dear. Through it all, Calvert remains steadfast and determined, never losing sight of his goals or his principles.Calvert Of Strathore is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and redemption, set against the backdrop of a tumultuous period in Scottish history. With its vivid descriptions of the landscape and culture of the time, the book offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era and the lives of the people who lived in it.The day after Calvert's arrival was a long and busy one for him. He was closeted from morning until night with Mr. Jefferson, who explained to him the many private affairs awaiting transaction, as well as much of the important official business of the Legation. It was also necessary that he should be thoroughly au courant with the political outlook of the times and the entire state of European affairs, and in those shifting, troublesome days it was no easy matter to thoroughly understand the drift of events. Russia was the cynosure of all eyes at that moment, and on her throne sat the most ambitious, the most daring, the most brilliant, and the most successful queen the world has ever seen.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
