Flora MacDonald was a Scottish heroine who saved the life of \"Bonnie Prince Charlie,\" claimant to the British throne. Later she and her husband came to North Carolina hoping for a better life. They remained loyal to England during the Revolution; this angered many of their neighbors and forced their departure back to Scotland, where they lived out their lives.

Abstract:
Her story was an illustration of the important role women play in history, pre-American Colonial and Colonial in particular. While the men helped to hold the fledging nation together on the battlefield, women helped to hold the fledgling nation together on the homefront. Where Flora’s story becomes especially memorable is her influence felt before immigrating from Scotland to North Carolina. That venture commemorated in this edition involved her helping the pretender to the British throne, Bonnie Prince Charlie, escape to France in 1746.
