Richard Cameron (1896)

""Richard Cameron"" is a biography of the Scottish Presbyterian minister and Covenanter leader Richard Cameron, written by John Herkless and originally published in 1896. The book chronicles Cameron's life from his birth in 1648 to his death in battle in 1680, and explores his role in the religious and political conflicts of 17th century Scotland. Cameron was a key figure in the Covenanting movement, which sought to preserve the independence of the Scottish church from English influence and resist the imposition of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. The book details Cameron's involvement in various rebellions and uprisings against the government, including the Battle of Airds Moss and the Sanquhar Declaration, which declared war on King Charles II. Herkless draws on a variety of primary sources, including Cameron's own writings and contemporary accounts, to provide a comprehensive and detailed portrait of this influential figure in Scottish history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
