How the Scots Won the English Civil War Book Description
This history of the battles, marches and sieges of the Scottish Covenanter Army and its one dragoon regiment - Colonel Hugh Frazer's dragoones - shows how they were instrumental in Parliament's victory in northern England and ultimately the defeat of King Charles I. The book looks at the victories of the Marquis of Montrose against Scots government troops, which led to a cavalry strike force, including Frazer's dragoones, returning from England to crush his army at Philiphaugh, ending his influence in the north. Finally, it traces the dissolution of Frazer's and other Scottish regiments.
