- catalog abstract ""The Isle of Lewis, down to the present day, retains a substantial rural population for one reason above all others. It is that, at crucial points in the island's history, its people were prepared to resist the power of landlordism and insist on the right to remain on the land which they occupied." "Without these struggles, the crofting population would have been virtually eliminated, just as it was in many other areas of the Highlands and Islands. This book recounts four of the crucial encounters, starting with the Bernera Riot in 1874 and concluding with the classic conflict between Lord Leverhulme and the returning ex-servicemen in Coll and Gress."--Jacket.".
