To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The tragedy origin- ated in the many quarrels which arose between two great chiefs of the North Highlands — Mackenzie of Kintail and Macdonell of Glengarry. As usual, the dispute was regarding land, but it is difficult to arrive at the degree of blame to which each party was entitled; enough that thei^e was bad blood be- tween these two paladins of the North. Of course, the quarrel v/as not allowed to go to sleep for lack of action on the part of their friends and clansmen. The Macdonells havin...g made several raids on the Mackenzie country, the Mackenzies retaliated by the spoiling of Morar with a large, overwhelming force. The Macdonells, taking advantage of Keniieth Mac- kenzie's visit to Mull with the view to influence Maclean to induce the former to peace, once more committed great devastation in the Mackenzie coun- try, under the leadership of Glengarry's son, Angus. From Kintail and Lochalsh the clan Mackenzie gathered fast, but too late to prevent Macdonell from escaping to sea with his boats loaded with the foray.
