We are who we are because of who our ancestors were. Join me on this journey to explore the past with Jim McIsaac and follow this trail from the islands and Highlands of Scotland to the Big Sky Country of Montana by way of Nova Scotia, Canada. Scottish Clans are known for their kilts, bagpipes and mysterious past. Responding to the growing interest in Celtic Heritage, this book follows Clan McIsaac with their links to Clan MacDonald of Clanranald, from Biblical roots to the bloody battles for Scotland's freedom. It is not a new work but rather the compiling of research that shares the stories of the past. Genealogy is not new but rather old and this is the result of gleaning from many around the globe. Read about the ingenuity that saw docile cattle as the weapon of war to insure victory when badly outnumbered. Far more than a list of who begat who, you'll get a taste of Scottish history and hopefully it will inspire you to pursue your own marvelous history and share it with others. Although focused on Jim McIsaac of Dillon, Montana, it includes extensive coverage of McIsaacs throughout the world. It is the result of a two-year project.
