The second volume of Mrs. A. T. Thomson’s Memoirs of the Jacobites moves from the 1715 rising to the individuals associated with the 1745 rebellion — Bonnie Prince Charlie’s famous attempt to reclaim the British throne for the Stuarts. Through individual biographies, Thomson brings to life the Highland chiefs, Lowland sympathisers, and English Jacobites who rallied to Charles Edward Stuart’s campaign.
The 1745 rising ended at Culloden, with devastating consequences for Highland society, and Thomson’s memoirs preserve the human stories behind the political and military drama. Download the free EPUB for vivid biographical portraits of the ’45 and its protagonists.
