Trial Of James Stewart: The Appin Murder (1907)

By David N. Mackay

Book Overview

The Trial of James Stewart: The Appin Murder (1907) is a non-fiction book written by David Norman Mackay that recounts the infamous trial of James Stewart, a Scottish man accused of murder in the 18th century. The book takes readers through the events leading up to the murder, the investigation, and the trial itself, which was a highly controversial and politically charged affair. Stewart was accused of killing Colin Campbell, the Red Fox of Glenure, in the Scottish Highlands, and the trial became a symbol of the tensions between the Scottish Highlands and the British government at the time. Mackay's book provides a detailed and well-researched account of the trial, including the evidence presented, the arguments made by both the prosecution and defense, and the final verdict. The book is a fascinating look at a pivotal moment in Scottish history and a gripping true crime story that will appeal to fans of both history and crime literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
