Culloden - John Prebble
$25.00
Culloden is the story of a battle and of what followed, the destruction of a way of life and the persecution of a people. There is little in this book about Bonnie Prince Charlie and the other principals of the Jacobite Rising of 1745 - this is the story of the ordinary men and women involved in the Rebellion, the 'common men.' Culloden recalls them by name and action, presenting the battle as it was for them, describing their lives as fugitives in the glens or as prisoners in the gaols and hulks, their transportation to the Virginias or their deaths on the gallows at Kennsington Commons.
