In Search of Willie Patterson | Reid, Fred | Cualann Press | 2002 | This biography of Willie Patterson (born in 1883) is written by his grandson, a professional historian. Willie was called "the black sheep of the family" and the author has tried to unravel the story of his life from his childhood in Glasgow`s Calton to his time in the British Army and his return to the politically-turbulent Clydeside. The story touches on many issues: the harshness of a Glasgow childhood, the brutality of army life, the prevalence of syphilis amongst the soldiers, the breakup of a marriage and the politics of Red Clydeside. | 994 |
