Summary "The Black Colonel" by James Milne is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the Jacobite uprisings in the Scottish Highlands and primarily follows the central character, Jock Farquharson, who is known as the Black Colonel. The narrative touches on themes of loyalty, rivalry, and the intricate relationships among clans in a tumultuous historical context. At the start of the novel, the narrator recounts an encounter in a dark Pass with Jock Farquharson, who is both a rebel against the British crown and a man of charisma and complexity. The two men engage in a tense dialogue that reveals their respective allegiances: Gordon serves the Hanoverian crown, while Farquharson embodies the Jacobite cause. As they navigate the charged atmosphere of impending conflict, we get glimpses of their internal struggles and motivations. The opening sets the stage for a rich tapestry of intrigue, personal honor, and the looming threat of war, hinting at a broader conflict that will unfold as the narrative progresses.
