Book excerpt: Details the adventures and achievements during the 16th and 17th centuries of not only Scottish individuals, but in some instances entire Scottish regiments. More than 40,000 Scottish soldiers were in action on the continent during this era. Their stories were omitted from most Scottish histories. Scotsmen trained the armies and founded the fleets of Russia. For generations the old Scots Brigade of immortal memory was the boasted 'Bulwark of Holland'. Second to none in war and glory were the Scottish guard of the French Kings-that guard of which only four were left alive when Francis I gave up his sword on the field of Paris.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scottish Soldiers of Fortune: Their Adventures and Achievements in the Armies of Europe Their achievements will form, ir is hoped, a stirring addition to our military annals, omit-ted in Scottish history, and will further show how our people, in whatever land they are cast, rise above those by whom they are surrounded, as surely as oil rises above water, to quote a writer who certainly was no friend to Scotland or her fame; and how many of them won the highest honours, civil and military - honours which many of their lineal descendants hold in the lands of their adoption. It will be shown how Scotsmen trained the armies and founded the eets of Russia; how for generations the old Scots Brigade of immortal memory was the boasted Bulwark of Holland; while second to none in war and glory were the Scottish Guard of the French Kings - that Guard of which only four were left alive when Francis I gave up his sword on the field of Pavia. Moreover, in this new mine of Scottish history, many, it is hoped, may discover the names of ancestors, relatives, and clansmen hitherto unknown to them.

Early on the dawn of the 18th the allied Russians and Anstrians crossed the slender Tidone, and in four great columns hurled their strength against him, as he drew up in order of battle again along the line of the Trebia.

This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soldiers of Fortune in Camp Court The sword has always been the resource Of the adventurous or impecunious, and the roll of celebrated soldiers of fortune is so long that the choice may be much a matter of fancy or predilection. But there were epochs when the trade was exceptionally flourishing, there were times when men were typical or when circumstances forced them to the front, as there were illustrious careers sensationally dramatic. SO there is justification for a selection not altogether arbi trary. One naturally begins with the mediaeval Condottieri and as naturally ends with the Indian Adventurers, their modern representatives. The war which for thirty years desolated Europe saw the developments of a science then in its infancy, with a revolution in the methods of cam paigning. Our countrymen, and especially the Scots, had a special interest in that war from the numbers who flocked to the standards of the Lion of the North, the Catholic League, or the Empire. Of the many Scottish soldiers of fortune, Marshal Keith of the next century was by far the greatest. All are familiar with him as one Of Frederick's most trusted lieutenants, but less is known of his concern in the Jacobite intrigues, and as little of the vicissitudes of his life in Russian camps and courts, where, after rising to the highest rank, his Scottish caution saved him from the scaffold or Siberia.
