Letter from the President Winter 2018 Dave Ziemer

Greetings fellow Gunns, It has been an eventful year! We saw our 50th anniversary A.G.M. in Pleasanton California come to fruition in a spectacular way! Our Chieftain, Iain Gunn of Gunn, his wife Bunty, son John & his wife Sarah were there plus a host of members from all over the U.S. made our anniversary a very special one. Our Chieftain presented a commemorative medal to CGSNA for the occasion of our 50th. It was a great honor that I was the recipient of the medal, and I will gladly pass it on to the new President elect Chuck Franz! There was a lot accomplished at this A.G.M., because we had a quorum attending the event. It made me realize a fact that has been plaguing our society for years. The governing group in our society has one job, to govern. Even before I was elected President of our society, I was attending A.G. M’. s. We have not had a quorum the entire time I was present. If you want to run for office in CGSNA, you must attend the A.G. M. There are officers who have only attended the A.G.M. in their area. This is not acceptable if you want to be part of a leadership group that controls a society as great as the Clan Gunn Society of North America! Your participation is the bedrock of our organization, ―mailing it in‖ is not an option! Thanks to Chuck & Jan, Victoria, Alise, Jerred, Rich, Heather, Mike and Charlie (by phone) for being at the first real leadership meeting that I have ever attended! It has been a pleasure being your President! Dave

Part II The by Lin Robinson British fortunes changed dramatically on November 17, 1745 when William Augustus, Duke of Cumber- land, returned from Flanders where he had a splendid record in command. He brought with him to Scot- land, ten regiments of seasoned troops. The British forces, when combined, now consisted of 16,000 troops, with the estimate of Jacobite fighters still with Charlie at 5,000. Cumberland arrived in on January 30, and immediately went about reorganizing the King’s ar- my. Hawley stepped down and Cumberland assumed overall command. He immediately ordered the army to move on Stirling to relieve the castle and then take Edinburgh. The Jacobites immediately learned of the move and abandoned both cities, splitting their forces and heading north. Cumberland pursued them for as far as was prudent, taking the cities of Aberdeen and Perth. From there he sent forces into Jacobite territo- ry to harass them. As Cumberland moved north, the Royal Navy followed, attempting, with limited success, to blockade the ports through which the Jacobites expected to receive supplies. However, men and materiel continued to come into the country although at a slower pace and the Jacobite commissary and money began to dwindle. By early April the Jacobites had moved close to Inverness. Cumberland had followed them all the way and sent dispatches to London stating that the rebellion would soon be over. He then moved toward Inverness. On April 14-15 the two forces concentrated near Drumossie Moor, six miles east of Inverness. Charlie had chosen this arena for battle, in spite of Lord George Murray’s protest. It was flat, meaning the Jacobites could not charge the enemy downhill and somewhat boggy as well. But Murray was overruled and the die was cast. The weather grew worse the night of the 15th-16th with rain and bitter cold. The Jacobites had scouted Cumberland’s encampment and knew that he was celebrating his 25th birthday with the troops, giving them cheese and alcohol. Thinking this would incapacitate some if not most of Cumberland’s men that night, a plan was decided on. They would make a flanking movement, similar to the one used at Prestonpans, and strike the British camp at 2AM. The officers found as many troops as they could and set off to maneuver around the enemy. Unfortunately their guide was clueless and marching in the dark, in bad weather, is al- ways difficult. A detachment from the Duke of Perth’s regiment did get to within hearing distance of the British camp, but their numbers were too small to attack and they had no real plan of action. Reluctantly, Murray ordered the 1200 man column to return to Culloden. They arrived at daybreak. The flanking at- tempt exhausted most of the men who participated and many of them found spots around the area in which to rest and went sound asleep, depriving the army of badly needed manpower. There was also very little food to be distributed. Page 4 The Gunn Salute

By noon on the 16th, both armies had moved onto the field at Drumossie Moor. On the government side were fifteen regiments, arrayed in three ranks, facing west, astride the road to Nairn. The last rank was guarded on either flank by cavalry. On the left flank were the cavalry of Kerr and Cobham along with the Campbell militia, led by Lt. Col. John Campbell of Mamore. These troops would move into the Culwhiniac Enclosure, a walled in area to contain livestock, when the fighting started. Field artillery was positioned in the front rank, between regimental formations. To the rear were coehorn mortars. A few of Cobham’s dra- goons were posted on the far right flank as well. Records indicate total troop strength of 8,350. The Jacobites formed up in cold rain and sleet in their faces, several hundred yards away from the govern- ment lines, facing east. Here the alignment is less certain, but the consensus is the front rank was mostly Highlanders. Locheil’s Camerons and the Atholl Regiment were on the far right flank. The MacDonalds of Glengarry, Clanranald and Keppoch were on the left, rather than their traditional placement on the right, which created some resentment. Smaller regiments, such as the Chisholms, Macleans and Macintoshes, along with Frasers and Stewarts were placed in the middle. There were 11 or 12 light artillery pieces spaced out in the first line. The second line consisted of the Lowland formations of Perth, Glenbucket, Kilmarnock, John Roy Stuart, Ogilvy and the Royal Ècossais – Scots in French service and probably the most skilled and drilled formation in the army. Lord Lewis Gordon’s Lowlanders anchored the right flank. Five small formations of cavalry, rounded out the army of 5300 men. It is believed that many of the men who had been on the abor- tive night march to Nairn, slept through the battle and were later killed or captured after army was defeat- ed. The ―Front Rank‖ Highlanders, those who were armed with swords, dirks, pistols, muskets and targes were not, contrary to common belief, most of the Highland fighting force. By 1745, due in large measure to the poor economic conditions of the Highlands, only the wealthiest could afford these items. It is estimated that only 20% of the Highlanders at Culloden were actually fully armed. Contemporary reports say that the first rounds of artillery were fired by the Jacobites. They had mostly 3 pound light artillery and the gunners were not experts by any measure. However, they did some damage. In the end the Jacobite ―barrage‖ simply provoked a response from the British, which quickly silenced the Jaco- bite guns. The British guns fired for about 15 minutes, which is a long time to those being fired upon. At ap- proximately one o’clock, the clan regiments began their Highland Charge. The armies’ lines were not exactly parallel to each other. On the Jacobite right the lines were 500 yards apart and on the left 700 yards. As the Highlanders ran toward the enemy, they continued to receive artil- lery fire. As they grew closer to the British, the artillery switched to canister and grape shot, turning their pieces into giant shotguns, making large holes in the lines of attackers. As the clans reached musket shot range, the custom had been to fire, then drop, their long guns. For some reason it appears that they did not do this at Culloden, simply tossing their muskets away and closing with sword and dirk. The Atholl Brigade and the Camerons hit the British line first, with Lady Macintosh’s regiment close by them on their left. Barrell’s and Monro’s regiments received the brunt of the attack. But, as the Highlanders fought their way through the first line they received efficient volleys and bayonet assaults from those in the second rank. Many Highlanders fell there and their ranks had been thinned on the way in, as they were also fired on by Campbell militia from Culwhiniac Enclosure on their right flank. Page 5 The Gunn Salute

On the Jacobite left, the MacDonalds and small clans moved at a slower rate. Reaching musket shot range they began firing but did not mount the full Highland Charge. Of course they were now in range of the Brit- ish lines which began steadily firing into their ranks. The Highlanders stayed there for a very long time and many were shot down. The Duke of Perth ran over to the Clanranald formation and took their colors, urg- ing them to renew the assault but to no avail. They continued standing there firing their muskets at long range. Back on the right, the Clans began to break. A few men had fought their way to the second British line but were killed for their trouble. The rank and file quickly realized that the battle was lost and began to run back toward what they hoped was the rest of the Jacobite army. Lord George Murray attempted to rally them but was unsuccessful. About that time, the formation on the left came to the same conclusion and also be- gan to leave the field. Ironically, the clan regiments on the right retreated in better order than those on the left and were not attacked by the enemy dragoons, as were the MacDonalds. Ogilvie’s, Gordon’s, Lord El- cho and the other formations of the second line managed to briefly hold off the British dragoons which would otherwise have created the same havoc for the retreating right wing of the Jacobites. The battle was over. In a very short time the Stuart cause had suffered its only real defeat of the rebellion and it was a thorough whipping. The Jacobite army suffered about 1500 killed with almost 400 captured. It is believed that many wounded Jacobites were finished off by British bayonets. The casualties for Cumberland’s army amounted to 50 dead and 259 wounded. Small groups of Jacobites gathered and agreed to move to Ruthven barracks, where they hoped to rally and continue the fight. Prince Charles refused to go and began his stealthy exit from . At Ruthven it was decided that it was every man for himself and the army evaporated. The rebellion was over. Later that year a ―disarming act‖ was passed which it was hoped would once and for all stifle the martial spirit of the Highland soldier. The carrying of arms by anyone except the military was forbidden, at- tire for men and boys was prohibited although women and girls were apparently exempted. Contrary to popular opinion, the bagpipes were not banned by the act, which was in effect until 1782 and lifted partly because of the performance of the Scottish regiments of the British army. Postscripts: The day before Culloden, a skirmish referred to as, the Battle of Little Ferry, among other things, oc- curred near Dunrobin Castle in Sutherland. A company of government militia attacked and routed Lord Cromartie’s force, which apparently had three Gunns in its ranks. They are listed as prisoners and all three were transported. There is no indication that the Clan Gunn company, led by the Chief, was at the fight on the side of the government. Only 190 swords were retrieved on the battlefield as opposed to 2300 muskets and fowling pieces. Were they carried away or were there only a few in use at Culloden?

Flowers Of The Forest

On VolumeMay 20, 2019, 1, Issue our 1proud Scots-Viking adventurer, Norman B. Biggart of Burlington, Massachusetts, passed on. He was 97. After a military tour in India during WWII and edu- cation at Rochester Institute of Technology, Norman worked in photography and engi- neering for several companies and then founded his own firm. He traveled widely in the States, the Pacific, Peru, Europe, eastern Canada, and Scotland, engaging in mineralogic and historical investigations. It was during his roving midlife that he and his brother Bill joined the Clan Gunn and manned the clan tent at several Scottish Games in New England for some years. Digging into the family lineage and the precolonial history of northeastern North America, Norman learned of the Westford Knight. After decades of research, he validated many separate sources of the James Gunn story and shared his findings with in- terested others. Impelled by the urge to preserve cultural gems of the region, Norman worked with Clan Gunn, NEARA, and local historical groups to promote the Westford Knight location and arti- facts as well as to restore several historically significant structures in his home town. Norman was a quiet, schol- arly, kindly gentleman, a passionate student of realtime phenomena with a wry sense of humor and a collection of notable friends and colleagues. He will be greatly missed. Sincerely—Susan Rump, Thetford Center, VT

I’m writing this morning to advise all of you of the passing of Norman Biggart, a resident of Burlington, MA and long time Clan Gunn member. Norman was passionate in his love of historical things and their preservation. He had an interest in the Westford Knight site for years and constantly pressed for its preservation and protection. Norman proudly attended the dedication of the site after local efforts to protect it and the installation of an effigy there. His services will be in Burlington on June 19. I can provide information to anyone wishing to attend.

Eastern Canada Branch member John Coburn Robison of Fredericton NB, Canada passed away on September 26th, 2018, after a long illness JAMES RENWICK WYLIE III The adventurer, bush pilot, ―rock star,‖ poet, writer, clarinetist, geologist, contractor, farmer and storytell- er James Renwick Wylie III, has passed away. The world is going to be a whole lot less exciting now. Jim died peacefully at his home in Meridian, Idaho, in the early morning of August 18th, 2019, at 90 years of age. But, nobody in history packed more into 90 years of life than Jim Wylie. Although his ancestors have been in this country since the 1620s, he was always connected with his Scottish roots, and was a proud member of Clan Gunn. He traveled to Scotland many times, the last in 2009 to attend the International Gathering of the Gunns. Born in 1929 in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania to James Renwick Wylie Jr. and Alice Bell Wylie, he was raised in Wilkinsburg, and graduated with a degree in Geology from Dartmouth Col- lege in 1951. After college, Jim moved to California, where he met the love of his life -- Margery Ellen Miller -- in a singles group at the Bakersfield Presbyterian Church. They married in 1954 and together they lived a big enough life for 10 cou- ples, traveling nearly every inch of the world together and making more friends than Facebook ever dreamed of. In his early career, Jim was a geologist for Gulf Oil Company and worked as a wildcatter from Bakersfield to An- chorage to Mississippi. Jim had a passion for adventure, with a special fondness for Alaska. He logged 7,000 hours as a bush pilot there, where he prospected and explored the land, and made many lifelong friends.

He loved poetry and had an amazing memory for reciting it, too. If you never heard Jim work and whisper his way through ―The Cremation of Sam McGee,‖ you really missed a howling evening. He also became a fine writer, and though he’s gone now, he lives on in the many stories he told about his life and the creative works of fiction he penned.

He was a life-long Presbyterian, and a charter member of St. Andrew United Presbyterian Church of Aptos, Cali- fornia. Jim was always looking ahead to the next adventure, and is now on to his most epic adventure of all! Page 9 The Gunn Salute

I also want to personally thank Sgt. Tim Nazzaro of The Pipes & Drums of the Orange County Sher- iff's Office for bringing "That Joyful Noise we all love" to our Clan Gunn Tents and for their special US Armed Forces Medley which included The USCG "Semper Paratus", The USAF "The U.S Air Force", USN "Anchors Aweigh", USMC "Marines' Hymn" and US Army "The Army goes Rolling Along" & inviting all veterans or active duty military personnel to enter their band circle of pipers & drummers while they played each of the above & presented each service person their Band's Chal- lenge Coin in thanks for their service. This outstanding event brought a tear to many a tough old veteran's eyes including Wallace N. Guthrie Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy (ret) and President of Clan Guthrie and a good friend to Clan Gunn & yours truly.

I want to personally thank our attending Members for all the foods & beverages they provided and for their exceptional support at the Gunn Armory table and the Gunn Information and Greeting tables and at the Beverage Table.

We look forward to the 2020 Florida Highland Games and encourage all of our members and friends to please join us.

Respectfully Submitted—Charles Henry Khem CGSNA 1st VP, Florida Comm. Page 12 The Gunn Salute

Either Peace or War! Missives from the Clan Gunn USA ―War Chief‖

When I first met Dave Ziemer I introduced myself saying, ―I am your war chief.‖ After much mead and late night discussions about past martial arts experiences we became fast friends and an idea was hatched.

In many larger clans when great battles were on the horizon the Chief would often assign the duty of readying the men and helping with tactics to another clansman, freeing up his own time for other leadership necessities. Though this was not a standard practice and did not come with any official titles, it can be seen in some of the larger clans and battles in Scotland's his- tory.

The 777 Way To Better Health

Sometimes making the time for even the most necessary things are difficult in our busy world. We are often encouraged to push hard and focus on things outside of what might be best for our minds and bodies.

Utilizing the ―777 Method‖ we can easily find ways to improve our health and wellness without ex- treme changes in diet and exercise.

7 Glasses of water every day.

7000 Steps every day.

7 hours of sleep every night. These are small, achievable goals one can look to make the time for in their busy lives to help im- prove their health.

We’re On Facebook!

Seeing how important socialVolume media 1, has Issue become 1 in keeping people connected, I was asked to put forth a Facebook page so that our Clan Gunn family can keep in touch. We now have 326 members! You do not have to be a member of Clan Gunn Society of North America to join, and I suspect some folks join just because they like us! (Who wouldn’t??). It is available to the public to see, but only members can post. Our members can post pictures, note upcoming events and talk about all things Gunn. Our Face- book mission statement is as follows:

―Welcome to the Official Facebook page for the Clan Gunn Society of North America, U.S. This page is dedicated to all things Clan Gunn...our rich history, events, news. Please keep posts positive and non-political/religious. Inappropriate posts and behavior will not be tolerated and will be removed. Clan Gunn folks are encouraged to join and get in touch with your Scottish Viking Roots! Membership is critical to our continued success. Please see www.clangunn.us/membership.htm to join and/or renew your membership.

WE ARE CLAN GUNN! Aut Pax Aut Bellum! Either Peace or War...(it’s your choice mate.) Skål!”

We have links to the Clan Gunn website, so that everyone has easy available access to our resources and to encourage joining The Clan Gunn Society of North America.
