Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed account of the descent of the Highland Host into the West Country of Scotland in 1678. The Host, a military force composed of highlanders, regulars, and militia, was brought into the disaffected districts to enforce the Bond, an act which made landowners responsible for the conformity of their tenants and servants, and to crush any armed resistance. The author draws upon a variety of sources, including letters, official records, and memoirs, to provide a comprehensive account of the Host's activities, and to examine the motives of the government and the responses of the local population. The book also explores the broader historical context of the religious and political tensions of the time, and the impact of the Host on the relationship between the government and the people of Scotland. Ultimately, it sheds light on the complex and often violent struggle for religious and political freedom in 17th-century Scotland.
