John Christopher Malcolm Baynes

4.9/5 (29681 ratings)

Description:This is a military account of the Jacobite Rising of 1715 written by John Baynes who served as an officer in the British army. The book looks at the various factors which caused the rising, the areas where the Jacobites rose in support of the Stuarts and the unpopularity of the union and Hanoverian government at that time. It is however predominately a military history.John Erskine (The Earl of Mar) is given a fair appraisal and Baynes points out that Mar achieved much in gathering so many men to the Stuart cause and fielding them against the more experienced Argyll. The author argues that the Jacobites did not have a better opportunity than this to unseat the Hanoverian government and that they would have indeed achieved this had they conducted themselves slightly differently.The English Jacobites and their commanders emerge somewhat worse and the author clearly conveys the view that they were seriously out of their depth and had virtually no military credentials.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
