George W Gough – författare

George W. Gough tells the story of the Jacobite Forty-Five not as a romance of tartan and lost causes but as an ordinary man's war. In the Staffordshire of 1745, with the Young Pretender's army marching south, a yeoman farmer's son with a sure sword arm finds himself carrying dispatches he cannot read for a cause he never chose. Published in 1917, when England was again counting its sons, this edition presents Gough's complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 50 full-page color plates.
