Christopher Duffy's original research reveals evidence of a wider plot against the Hanoverians and more support for the risings in Scotland, than had been suspected before. Filled with maps and a guide to the key sites, it provides an eye-opening perspective.

Book Description

Elcho's Journal, written in Frnach during his exile, has lain largely negletced at Wemyss Castle until rescued by the late Hon Alics Wemyss. It is the last, as yet unpublished, key source for the history of the rising, and describes how Elcho was ensnared into Jacobitism, the course of the '45, including his famous row with the Prince after Culloden and his escape from Scotland. It offers a vivid picture of life in ancien regime Europe where he lived in some style until his death in 1787. By combining the insights offered by the Journal with Elcho's other writings and with a wide range of other source material, the author provides the most authentic picture yet available of a man who was at the centre of one of Scottish history's great adventures.

Book Description

"Early one September morning in 1745, Edinburgh's city gates were stormed by Prince Charles Edward Stuart's Highland Army. For the next six weeks the City lay under Jacobite occupation, the Prince holding court at Holyrood Palace. Here is the story of that interlude as told by those who were there. This is a dramatic story with the Prince's bloody victory at the Battle of Prestonpans and the inside story of the stormy debates at Holyrood that preceded the march into England which the Prince so desperately wanted. It has its humorous side too, as Highlands met Lowlands on the streets of the old town"--Back cover.

Damn' Rebel Bitches takes a totally fresh approach to the history of the Jacobite Rising by telling fascinating stories of the many women caught up in the turbulent events of 1745-46. Many historians have ignored female participation in the '45: this book aims to redress the balance. Drawn from many original documents and letters, the stories that emerge of the women - and their men - are often touching, occasionally light-hearted and always engrossing.

Book Description

The Heroes of ‘45 by Ron Mielech The Heroes of ‘45 by Ron Mielech is an enchanting tale of historical fiction; however, this could very easily be a story told about life in a small Kentucky town during the war. The action takes place in 1945, following thirteen-year-old Richard Townsend. During the war, Richard’s father, C.F., continues his legal practice on the home front, while others of Richard’s family and friends are serving their country at war. Richard is pleased that his father is safe but is disappointed that he has not served in the military. Richard could not possibly have known at the beginning of summer how much his life would change. Through a course of events that took place by summer’s end, he would realize that you don’t have to fight a war to be a hero. He witnessed the heroic acts of others, including his father. Once he realized all of the truly good things his father did for others, he was proud to follow in his footsteps. And then, came the end of the war and life went on and the past gave way to the future.
