Description
From the flyleaf:
Sir Fitzroy was a remarkable man, whose life spanned
the reigns of 5 monarchs. Born in 1835, he first saw the
ruins of Duart Castle when he was a teenager and
vowed to buy it back.
After an eventful life in the army, including taking part
in the Crimean War and service in Ireland, Canada and
the United States, he retired and fulfilled his dream of
buying back the ruins of Duart and restoring the castle
to its former glory.
Until now there has only been one copy of his
autobiography in existence, so we are delighted to now
publish it in full.
It is a must have for Macleans the world over, as well
as anyone interested in this period of history, military
studies and the social history and lifestyle of a
Victorian Gentleman.
