Fionn Mac Colla - At the Sign of the Clenched Fist
Attached here are scanned images from Fionn MacColla's 1967 book 'At the sign of the clenched fist'. I believe they belong here in the public domain. The book belongs to that special genre: the ramblings of a madman. And not just any madman, but one who has shunned his Sassanach slave name Thomas Douglas MacDonald, learned Gaelic, moved to Western Isles, converted from the Wee Frees to the true Catholic faith, and has helped found the National Party of Scotland along with a variety of other writers and artists such as Edward Baird who painted MacColla's above portrait. MacColla is 26 there, it was 1932.
