Further reading, by and about John Claudius Loudon and Claudius Buchanan

The Claudians has a fair amount of information that has not appeared in other books about Loudon and I have taken a few liberties with the chronology for narrative purposes. 

So if historians wish to use this information they should go to the sources instead of relying on a work of fiction. The weblinks will take you to some sources and I plan to add more.
