The third volume of Mrs. A. T. Thomson’s Memoirs of the Jacobites continues her biographical survey of the men and women who risked — and in many cases lost — everything in support of the Stuart cause in the risings of 1715 and 1745. Through individual lives, Thomson reconstructs the social fabric of Jacobitism: its Highland loyalties, Catholic sympathies, and dynastic romanticism.
These memoirs remain an important narrative source for the history of the Jacobite movement in Scotland and England. Download the free EPUB for vivid biographical portraits of one of British history’s most dramatic lost causes.
