Chapter summaries for Naught Left but Sorrow

Spectacle of Horror
"Allan and Penelope"-Allan the 14th captain of Clanranald fought in the Battle of Killiecrankie in 1689 when he was a teenager. As a young man, he married Penelope, who was both beautiful and accomplished. Their home became a haven for Gaelic culture. The Jacobite Rising of 1715 ruined their charmed life.
"Fathers and Sons"-Charles Stuart proclaimed his father James the rightful king of Scotland and England. The Duke of Cumberland led forces supporting his father George, the ruling king of Scotland and England. Old Clanranald doubted the Stuarts' strength, but his son Young Clanranald raised a regiment for the Rising of 1745. A soldier's accidental shot killed Glengarry's son, and the soldier was executed by a firing squad that included the soldier's father, who hoped a well-placed bullet was cause instantaneous death. Donald of Scotus dreaded going into battle against a British regiment that included Donald's son. Alexander of Keppoch charged into a barrage of bullets; his natural son Angus Ban carried him off the battlefield.

Harboring a Fugitive
"Flora and Her Cousins"-After Charles Stuart watched his army crumble at Culloden, he fled and spent half a year hiding in the Highlands and islands of Scotland. Among the many MacDonalds who protected Charles was a 24-year-old woman named Flora. Her cousins Alexander the Gaelic poet and Neil MacEachain the Clanranald tutor also gave important assistant to Charles, as did Flora's relative Old Clanranald.

"A Rebel from Cross Creek"-A MacDonald from North Carolina served in the revolutionary forces as a sergeant in Marion's Brigade.
"Two Brothers"-Alexander MacDonald of Kinlochmoidart rose to high rank in the British army's 71st Regiment, and his brother Charles served in the French forces assisting the Americans.
