This book throws new light on the men who fought for the Stuarts in Scotland from the beginning of the Jacobite cause in 1689 to Glenshiel in 1719 by drawing on the work of historians and a wide range of primary sources and therefore presenting a picture based on the evidence available. I am minded to rise looks at the variety of clothing and weapons used by the different Jacobite armies in this time period as well as their material culture used by them to show their allegiance to the Stuarts and the Jacobite cause. This book will appeal to those interested in the Jacobite Risings reenactors, wargamers, fans of Outlander, anyone with an interest in Scottish clothing from 17th and 18th centuries and the Scottish diaspora who, thanks to a growing interest in family history, are keen to know more about their Scottish heritage.
"This thorough examination of the well- and poorly-dressed Jacobite officer and soldier at the turn of the 17th-18th century describes all the details you would want to know about the period." Historical Miniatures Gaming Society
"Scott has produced a clear and well–developed investigation of the clothing, weapons, and other pieces of material culture related to the various Jacobite uprising that occurred during 1689–1719, while maintaining a clear and focused discussion without allowing the details to overwhelm the investigation. This book has the ability to both provide another layer of understanding to anyone with an interest in either or both dress and military history, while serving as a springboard for further investigation."
