I am Minded to Rise: The clothing, weapons and accoutrements of the Jacobites from 1689 to 1719 (Century of the Soldier) Jenn Sc


Excellent work on the clothing and equipment of the Jacobite risings.

This is an great book to own. If you have an interest in the Highland rebellions including battles like Killiekrankie and Sheriffmuir then you will love this book. It is not just Highland troops in their varying social classes but also Lowland troops are included as well as allies like the Spanish. Their weapons and tactics are examined.
Very well illustrated by the Irish military artist Sean O'Brogain this will be enjoyed by anyone who has an interest in Scottish history.
