Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat: His Life And Times is a biography of Simon Fraser, a Scottish nobleman who lived during the 17th and 18th centuries. Written by William Cook Mackenzie and first published in 1908, the book provides a comprehensive account of Fraser's life, from his birth in 1667 to his execution for treason in 1747.The book covers Fraser's early years as a member of the Fraser clan, his time as a soldier in the British army, and his eventual rise to prominence as a powerful landowner and politician in Scotland. It also delves into his involvement in the Jacobite uprisings of 1715 and 1745, which aimed to restore the Stuart monarchy to the throne of Great Britain.Throughout the book, Mackenzie provides a detailed portrait of Fraser's personality and character, as well as his relationships with other notable figures of his time, such as Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Duke of Cumberland. He also explores the broader historical context of Fraser's life, including the political and social upheavals of the period.Overall, Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat: His Life And Times is a fascinating and informative biography of a complex and intriguing figure in Scottish history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
