Beschreibung:
Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by William Hogarth, Thomas Gainsborough and Joseph Wright of Derby. Staffordshire, 1745: the Young Pretender's army is marching south, and a yeoman farmer's son with a good sword arm finds himself carrying dispatches he cannot read for a cause he has not chosen. Gough published it in 1917, when England was again counting its sons, and wrote the Forty-Five as an ordinary man's war rather than a romance of tartan. Fifty-eight plates after Hogarth and Gainsborough open the era's farms, fairs, and battlefields, the world the yeoman rides through.
