Over its five seasons on the air, the televised series Outlander has
combined romance, adventure, history, and time travel into a classic
saga of love, war, and the ties that bind family together. After
surviving the 1746 uprising of the Scottish Highlanders, the
intrigue-ridden Paris of Charles Stuart, and a sea voyage across the
Caribbean, Claire and Jamie Fraser finally settle in the mountains of
North Carolina. There, they build a community of immigrant farmers who
continue to struggle for justice, democracy, and independence from
British colonialism. This companion volume offers detailed information
on more than 125 topics including characters, themes, places, events,
actors, herbalism, and historical chronology. For fans and scholars
alike, it separates fact from fiction and aids in understanding the
effects of the 1746 Jacobite uprising on the formation of the United
States.
