520    "As the Marquess and Marchioness of Aberdeen, John and 
       Ishbel Hamilton-Gordon enjoyed wealth and privilege that 
       many in Victorian times could only imagine. Unlike other 
       aristocrats of the time, however, the couple spent most of
       their money helping others. Ishbel--social reformer, 
       political activist, health campaigner, and advocate of 
       women's rights--personally transformed lives not only in 
       her native Scotland, but in Canada and Ireland where her 
       husband was appointed Viceroy by Queen Victoria. The 
       couple ran their charitable campaigns from the homes they 
       bought on their travels in Britain and North America, 
       including a mansion in the Scottish Highlands, grand 
       townhouses in London's most fashionable square, a fishing 
       lodge in Quebec, and ranches in British Columbia and 
       Texas. Yet Ishbel's passion for reform was a double-edged 
       sword, doing as much good for others as it did reckless 
       harm to her family's fortune and John had to sell almost 
       all of his vast estates. When he died in 1934, their 
       coffers were all but empty and Ishbel faced eviction from 
       her home in the Scottish hills. A moving and colorful 
       exploration of Victorian society through the eyes of an 
       inspirational couple who did their best to change the 
       world for the better, often at great personal cost, 
       Fortune's Many Houses is a feast for history lovers"--
