Records of the adventures of David Balfour in 1751, how he was kidnapped and shipwrecked; about his suffering on a deserted island; about his wanderings through the wild mountains; of his acquaintance with Alan Breck Stewart and other prominent Jacobites of the Scottish Highlands; and about all that he suffered at the hands of his uncle Ebenezer Balfour, falsely called the owner of Shoos, written by himself and now published by Robert Louis Stevenson.
