Publisher's Synopsis
The Men of the Moss-Hags is a historical adventure novel written by Samuel R. Crockett and published in 1895. The story is based on the papers of William Gordon of Earlstoun in Galloway, which recount the adventures of a group of Scottish outlaws who lived in the mossy hills and bogs of Galloway in the 17th century. The novel tells the story of these men, who were known for their daring raids and their resistance against the English authorities. The main character, William Gordon, is a young man who becomes involved with the outlaws and joins them in their fight for freedom. The novel is full of action and adventure, with battles, chases, and narrow escapes. It also explores themes of loyalty, honor, and the struggle for justice in a time of political turmoil. Crockett's vivid descriptions of the Scottish landscape and the life of the outlaws make this a compelling read for anyone interested in Scottish history or adventure novels.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
