The Yeoman Adventurer (Annotated Edition): A Tale of the Rebellion of 1715 — With New Introduction

ANNOTATED EDITION — Contains a new editorial introduction covering the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715, historical context, and a biography of the author.


Set against the turbulent backdrop of early 18th-century England, The Yeoman Adventurer follows a bold young farmer thrust into a world of political intrigue, divided loyalties, and perilous adventure. When the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715 tears his quiet village apart, one man's courage and wit become his only weapons against treachery on every side.


A gripping tale of honor, romance, and survival, this forgotten gem of historical fiction crackles with authenticity — sword fights in fog-shrouded lanes, coded messages, narrow escapes, and a love story that defies political allegiance. Gough's vivid prose puts you squarely in the muddy boots of an ordinary man caught in extraordinary times.


Perfect for readers who love: Bernard Cornwell, Patrick O'Brian, and classic historical adventure.
