Between daylight and hell : Scots who left a stain on American history
Lundy, Iain2016
Books, Manuscripts
This is the culmination of years of research into the lives of Scots who were guilty of dastardly deeds after leaving Scotland for America - in some cases they literally got away with murder. These emigrants were rogues, con artists, charlatans and reprobates of the worst order and their crimes are laid out in detail. For each character the author relates their early lives in Scotland, family backgrounds and why they left to make a fresh start in the New World.
