OUTLANDER (2026) 07 801 Frank
Although they were right here in front of his eyes, Jamie could still hardly believe that Brianna and Roger had come back in time with the bairns to be with himself and Claire. He’d left letters at the bank from he and Claire both, detailing the business of Fraser’s Ridge including the location of the Jacobite gold, which had been intended as an inheritance of a sort. He was very disturbed to hear it had put his grandson Jem in danger, caused the MacKenzies so much trouble in their own time that they felt the need to come back to a war. Jamie decided he would move the gold right away. He and Claire also told Brianna what they had learned about her sister Faith, and who Frances was.
There was one more book gift from Brianna: a history of the Scots in America as researched by Frank Randall. Claire had no idea he had produced a manuscript. It was called The Soul Of A Rebel: The Scottish Roots of the American Revolution 1745-1791. Jamie decided he needed to read that one as soon as he could.
Out in the woods, Jamie and Brianna discovered someone had hung men branded as Tories, Loyalists to King George of England.
“There are devils on both sides of this war,” Jamie said.
According to Frank’s book, a James Fraser, along with some other Ridge Scotsmen, died in an upcoming back country battle. There was another thing that deeply affected him and brought up memories, even frightened him- Frank Randall looked awfully much like his ancestor, Black Jack Randall. Claire had never mentioned the likeness, and he confronted her about it. Frank and Jack were so different, she said, didn’t know how to tell him without much upset. Truthfully, he would’ve remembered this detail for the rest of his life. “You are mine,” he told Claire, then asked her if he would’ve trusted Frank to be an honest man. She thought so, and he had to tell Claire what he’d read: the James Fraser mentioned in the book died in the next month.
