Culloden Moor 1746. The death of the Jacobite cause

PDF | 49 pages | 38 Mb The final demise of Jacobitism amid the slaughter of the Highland clans on a cold and damp Culloden Moor in April 1746 is undoubtedly one of the most famous battles in British military history. It has also been, until recently, one of the least understood from both a military and political perspective. In this modern and highly detailed account, this book combines a thorough understanding of 18th century tactics, an intimate knowledge of the battlefield itself and a scandalously underused archive of contemporary material from both sides to provide a detailed, accurate and dramatic account of this controversial battle. The work reviews the final battle in the campaign of Bonnie Prnce Charlie (Stuart) to regain the British threone from the Hanoverian line. The Authors describe the opposing sides and political situation well. The battle is done with great care and leaves the reader with a sense of being there. I can best describe it as similar to the experience of watching the movie Culoden nearly forty years ago on PBS.The period has always fascinated me and I have continually searched for works on the topic.
