Galloway and the Covenanters: Or the Struggle for Religious Liberty in the South-West of Scotland. E-book. Formato PDF - 9780259691372

It is not surprising that comparatively little is known of the Covenanters of Galloway. Their story is not to be found in any single volume, but must be gleaned here and there from many scarce and curious books and other out-of-the-way sources. Believing the story worthy of telling, and of preserving, I have endeavoured to gather the threads of it together, and the following pages are the result. It has been a labour of love, carried on amidst many difficulties, and it has assumed proportions I little dreamed of when I began. No one is more conscious of its defects and short-comings than I am myself, but when it became a question of this or nothing, I preferred this. I have freely availed myself of the works of others, and I have not hesitated to follow Wodrow closely, notwithstanding all that has been said against him. The articles in the latter part of the volume, so placed to be less cumbersome, are not in chronological order.
