William Mackenzie's wealth came from the slave trade, plantations in Jamaica, and an Atlantic smuggling racket. He marries Delia, daughter of Judge Fogo, but the Judge discovers William's smuggling secret and, before he can lay information, dies in a shooting "accident." Robert Thomson, made a scapegoat by William, spends 13 years exiled in Jamaica. At the same time, Angus Ritchie in Scotland persuades his family to emigrate. The powerful Lairds are turning the land over to sheep, and people fear eviction. A catastrophe on the Atlantic voyage means that Angus is almost drowned, and his injuries cause severe loss of memory. For 13 years he works at a fish-drying station in Newfoundland, acquiring the name of Barney. This is also a staging-post in William's smuggling activities.Robert follows William to Scotland, determined to expose the smuggling crimes. He encounters "Barney" and tries to help him recover his memory. But "Barney" has fallen in love with Alice, who lives with her parents in the Codroy Valley. Her father bans their marriage until he knows Barney's true lineage, and "Barney" goes to Halifax to discover his identity.Robert tells Delia that William has murdered her father, but is attacked by footpads hired by William,and is transported back to North America. A passenger on the same ship is Angus's sister, Elizabeth. Pooling their knowledge, they believe "Barney" to be the missing Angus. The families are eventually re-united. Delia separates from William; they quarrel, the house in Edinburgh catches fire, and William does not survive. "Jean Lucas tells a spellbinding story about emigrant Scots to Canada, using authentic historical accounts. With its elegant prose and fascinating characters "The Pictou Triangle" will delight readers of all ages."Dr. Lucille H. Campey (Scottish Emigration Historian)

These articles and book reports have been written in the hope that readers could believe as I do that the world, including our country, is in great danger for multiple of reasons:1. The spread of adherents to Islam threaten to engulf all persons of different faiths. They are winning through violence but also just by having more babies than every other culture. The leaders of Europe and America refuse to accept how evil this belief system is and how they have only one agenda-and that is to have dominion over all nations.2. Our Constitution has been destroyed by the administration of President Obama and the Supreme Court. He does whatever he wants regardless of the Congress. The Court extended the commerce authority to allow the government to force citizens to purchase a service and allowed the corporations to spend anything they want to affect the outcome of elections.3. We are drowning in debt but continue to add costly programs, making it even worse without making any attempt to reduce the strain. Military adventures continue without end. Government handouts to the so-called needy have created a permanent underclass of people being supported while not required to put forth effort.4. The government refuses to take the steps needed to become energy efficient, which could be accomplished easily, thereby freeing us from OPEC. For those of you who don't remember, in the '50s, we exported oil.
