Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Officer of the Long Parliament and His Descendants: Being Some Account Account of the Life Times of Colonel Richard Townesend of Castletown (Castletownshend)& A Chronicle of His Family With Illustrations ´And I but think and speak and do As my dead fathers move me to.´ R. L. Stevenson. The English Civil War of 1641-49 was essentially a people´s war; it was not fought by rival royal houses, nor by rebellious Barons marshalling their feudal retainers. The questions that divided King Charles and his parliament touched the life of every Englishman, and there was hardly an English family that did not take its share in the struggle. The names of the leaders are familiar as household words; but many soldiers now rest forgotten in their ´camps of green´ who had their share in winning the freedom that has been handed down to us. In telling the story of one of these forgotten worthies, it is hardly possible to separate private from public history, however slightly qualified a genealogist may be to make excursions into that dangerously fascinating field. In truth, we know but little of the private life of Colonel Richard Townesend: public records tell of his public services, and we must guess the rest.
