Publisher's Synopsis

Cromwell's Scotch Campaigns, 1650-1651 is a historical book written by William Scott Douglas and originally published in 1898. The book provides a detailed account of Oliver Cromwell's military campaigns in Scotland during the years 1650 and 1651, which were a crucial part of the English Civil War. The book begins by setting the stage for the conflict, describing the political and religious tensions between England and Scotland at the time. It then delves into Cromwell's military strategy and tactics, detailing the battles and sieges that took place during the campaigns. Douglas provides a thorough analysis of the key players on both sides of the conflict, including Cromwell himself, as well as Scottish leaders such as David Leslie and Charles II. He also examines the impact of the campaigns on the wider political and social landscape of both England and Scotland.Throughout the book, Douglas draws on primary source material such as letters, diaries, and official documents to provide a nuanced and detailed account of the events. He also includes maps and illustrations to help readers visualize the battles and movements of troops.Overall, Cromwell's Scotch Campaigns, 1650-1651 is a comprehensive and engaging account of a pivotal moment in British history, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the English Civil War or military history more broadly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
