About this title

Synopsis

“This book is based on the letters of George Moore, a Manx merchant, from 1750 to 1760. Addressed to merchants in Europe, the West Indies and Boston, customers for uncustomed goods along the Scottish coast from Fort William to Kirkcudbright and his family, these letters provide a detailed insight into the ‘other side’ of the smuggling story. At the same time it is possible to identify several of Moore’s corespondents in the custom house letter-books and in other contemporary documents.”Created by gavtav 2021.
