The Banner Of Blue Or The Career Of The Covenant Flag: Being A Series Of Ballads And Other Poems On The Great Struggle For The National Covenant Of Sc

Angus MacPherson

The Banner of Blue or The Career of the Covenant Flag is a collection of ballads and poems by Angus Macpherson, published in 1865. The book focuses on the history of Scotland during the 17th century, specifically the National Covenant of Scotland, a document signed in 1638 by Scottish Presbyterians that opposed the imposition of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. The poems and ballads in this book tell the story of the Covenanters' struggle against the English monarchy and their fight to maintain their religious beliefs and independence. The title of the book refers to the blue flag that was used as a symbol of the Covenanters' cause. Macpherson's work provides a vivid and emotional account of this important period in Scottish history, and is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of Scotland and the struggles of its people for religious and political freedom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
