About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ...Montrose, by the assistance of his foot behind, forced his way through Leslie's army, with a loss of about a hundred of his brave little band, and soon reached the forest, where every man shifted for himself, the rallying-point being Traquair. But the remainder of the foot suffered severely before they could gain the wood." From this account it will be seen that Hogg agrees with Wishart as to the division of Leslie's army into two portions having occurred on the left bank of the Ettrick near Linglee burn; but while the former alleges that the body of 2000 horse moved off on a long flank march up Philhope, the latter says they crossed to the other bank of the stream, and makes no suggestion of any great detached flank movement whatever. It is, indeed, impossible to understand how 2000 horse could have moved from the Linglee burn up Philhope without the knowledge of Montrose. Hogg does not mention definitely where the Royalist cavalry had been stationed, but we know from other sources that they were partly in the town of Selkirk and partly on the haugh on the opposite--i.e., left--bank of the river. Mr Craig-Brown also tells us that the artillery were placed near to the present site of the cricket-ground. Now, the haugh at this point is barely a quarter of a mile wide, and it is really preposterous to think of such a large force as 2000 horse passing the artillery and cavalry bivouacked on this narrow piece of ground without being challenged by their sentries or by the sentries of the infantry companies which, we are told, had bivouacked on the bank on the other side of the haugh. It is, if possible, even more difficult to believe that they should have desired to do so--that they should have intentionally left Montrose himself, together...
