Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Brief History of the Rebellion and a Life of Gen. McClellan: Containing Some Facts Never Before Published There is perhaps no part of English history that is more interesting than the Jacobite rebellion, thousands flocked to the standard of the chevalier, whose courtly manners won the hearts of all. He was the descendant of a hundred kings, the blood of the great Saxon monarchs, of the ancient rulers of Scotland, of William the Conqueror, and of the Tudors, all flowed in his veins. Gold and titles were liberally promised, when the rightful heir to the crown then worn by the elector of Hanover should sit in Westminster and hold the sceptre, but not one of these visions were destined to be realized. Among the old Scottish gentry, who testified their allegiance to the ancient house of Stuart, was McClellan, of Kircudbright, on the Galway, whose enthusiam for the exiled family induced him to rally in support of their claims, and with a body of Highlanders he was present at the fatal battle of Culloden, which forever exterminated the hopes of the Stuart dynasty. Some of the adherents of the ill-starred race, perished by the bullet, cord, and axe; others were saved by woman´s devotion. A few attached themselves to the wandering and uncertain fortunes of the pretender, and some emigrated to the provinces, or as they were then styled colonies.
