What if the ousted kings of England, the Stuarts, had claimed the North American colonies? We might have been free of the English a century earlier-no revolution needed! What set up this possibility? How did it happen that those foolish, brave, and unlucky Stuarts did everything wrong to ensure that their Scottish subjects migrated to North America as soon as there were any ships going in that direction?This amusing book is full of lost causes, wrongheaded kings, and sheer incompetence. Prince Charlie wasn't bonny at all, and Mary, Queen of Scots wasn't innocent. Read all about these feckless kings of Scotland and England, and about how they gave so much to the USA.

Richard Crissman is a novelist with many listings on the dot-com booksellers. His special interest is money and what it does to people. He has also written How to Turn Your Idea into a Novel, coming from iUniverse soon. His books are always light-hearted and fun to read: full of sassy opinions. He and his wife live in San Miguel de Allende, in Mexico.C.T.M. von Jaeger-Dougall explains that he loves lost causes. The Stuart family history of stylish folly has long interested him, especially because they let the best people in Scotland migrate to the United States. ?We would never have been literate and independent-minded without the Scots,? he says. The von Jaegers divide their time between San Miguel and their Nonsuch sailing craft in Connecticut.
