The MacHugh Memoirs
Piper and adventurer Roderick Gaspard ‘Rory’ MacHugh tangles with Napoleon Bonaparte, The Duke of Wellington and Davy Crockett. Captured by the Blackfoot Indian tribe when he's 13, Rory learns to become a warrior. After a daring escape from prison, he joins the British Army, and then is seconded to the Secret Service. Despite a near-fatal weakness for the ladies, MacHugh travels from the plains of North America to cities and deserts on four continents. MacHugh returns forty years later to resume life as a Blackfoot. Or does he?
Welcome
James L. (Jim) McWilliams - Piper, Author
James L. (Jim) McWilliams is a military historian, author, educator, musician, composer and an arranger of Celtic, international folk and classical pipe music.
Greetings, and welcome to my website.
This is going to be a busy year, with piping, composing and arranging pipe tunes, travelling and spending time with family
and friends.
Most exciting is the introduction of Rory MacHugh and
The MacHugh Memoirs, a unique insider's view of events and times in the adventures of a remarkable man.
Hope you enjoy my new website. It launched on Robbie Burns Day, which is also the birthday of my father, Leslie Earl McWilliams, born January 25, 1905.
