Margaret Manchester's Historical Non-Fiction Books
Killhope Man: Emerging From the Mists of Time
A true historical mystery uncovered in the heart of the North Pennines, County Durham.
In 1921, a body discovered in a peat bog on an English moor gave rise to a romantic legend of a fallen Jacobite soldier. More than a century later, local archaeologist and author Margaret Manchester sets out to uncover the truth.
Re-examining every detail—from clothing buttons to the shape of the coffin—she challenges long-held assumptions and uncovers a far more complex story…
A fascinating investigation into history, identity, and a century-old mystery finally brought to light.
