Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rather than a chronology of events this volume looks at the lives, morals and beliefs of people and how they were affected by events that were largely out of their control. Rather than re hash the old stories about the main characters, there are portraits of the forgotten figures from that era, both heroes and villains. People like Peter Easton one of the most successful pirates of that or any other age, Lawrence Chislett, the unsung hero of the first siege of Taunton. John Sheppard, the renegade royalist who had to return to the small settlement of Kilton, in post-Civil war Somerset, and live among those whose lives he had made a misery Otherwise unremarkable people are featured, like Thomas Sesse, whose act of Christian charity spectacularly back fired on him. Then there was the mass hysteria at the “discovery of a Hellish knot of witches”, in Eat Somerset in the 1660's Eye witness accounts are used throughout from a wealth of original documents to try and recreate the sounds sights and experience of not only a county, and a country in a state of turmoil.

Download or read book Somerset's Loyalties on the Eve of Civil War: Bishops, Ireland and Parliamentary Petitioners written by Adrian J. Webb and published by Studies in Somerset's History. This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Somerset in 1641 was a heady mix of supporters of bishops and their ancient system of governance (known as episcopacy), the King, Parliament and those who supported combinations thereof, as well as neutrally-minded people. This book examines, for the first time, the loyalties of the people of Somerset, including the gentry and clergy on the eve of the First English Civil War. Alongside this analysis are transcripts of key documents from that most turbulent period. The subject of episcopacy and its effects on the Diocese of Bath and Wells is examined in detail through the analysis of unpublished testimonies of contemporary Somerset folk. Also included is an account of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, including his time spent in the Tower of London. Using a wide variety of original sources, and a different approach to analysing petitions, the traditional thoughts about people's loyalties in those turbulent years are challenged. One of the key sources is a petition from over 230 clergy and 14,350 lay men in response to Somerset's and London's 'root and branch' petitions of 1640. Somerset's petition, organised by a faction of local royalist gentry and clergy, was presented at a key moment in the constitutional history of England. It reflected not only the supporters of King Charles but also those who wanted to change the way the Church was run. This edition of the December 1641 petition shows the extent of Royalist support on the eve of civil war. Complementing this are some hitherto unpublished records showing how Somerset reacted to the Irish Rebellion of 1641. These include the names of those in the east of the county who gave money in support of the distressed Protestants who had suffered during the Catholic uprising, and others demonstrating how Parliamentary supporters gained financially from the sale of lands in Ireland. The original documents transcribed and reproduced in this volume are mainly drawn from the Parliamentary Archives, The National Archives of England and Wales, the Archive of the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society, the Diocese of Bath and Wells and a private collection. Read about the events concerning the vicar of Pitminster, Christmas at Barrington, the Bishops Wars, strange preachers at Chew Stoke, cuckoo pipes at Bruton, militiamen, fighting clergy, Ship Money, the bishop's registrar, communion tables, petitioners from Beckington, Taunton and Bath investors, MPs, coded petitions, riots at Neroche, Royalists and Roundheads, Assize courts, poor clergymen, protestations, silver-tongued Sydenham, church courts and much more.

Download or read book The Battle of Mill Springs, Kentucky written by Stuart W. Sanders and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-22 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 19, 1862, Confederate and Union forces clashed in the now-forgotten Battle of Mill Springs. Armies of inexperienced soldiers chaotically fought in the wooded terrain of south-central Kentucky as rain turned bloodied ground to mud. Mill Springs was the first major Union victory since the Federal disaster of Bull Run. This Union triumph secured the Bluegrass State in Union hands, opening the large expanses of Tennessee for Federal invasion. From General Felix Zollicoffer meeting his death by wandering into Union lines to the heroics of General George Thomas, Civil War historian Stuart Sanders chronicles this important battle and its essential role in the war.

Download or read book Somerset written by James Bradbury and published by Arcadia Library Editions. This book was released on 1996-04-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Somerset, the first pictorial history of the town ever created, resident historian James E. Bradbury has created a nostalgic look at his home from the Civil War to the 1960s. The book focuses on the people who have made Somerset what it is today--from shipbuilders and seafarers to iron workers and trolley car men. Somerset tells the story of a variety of residents and their contributions to the town's rich history. It presents the tale of Clifford Holland, a Somerset man who built the world's first successful vehicular tunnel between New York and New Jersey. Also featured is Shirley May France, a town resident who, at age seventeen, attempted unsuccessfully to swim the daunting English Channel. Less well-known but equally important civic-minded citizens of Somerset also appear in Bradbury's work--like Dr. Frank Morrill, proud deliverer of over one thousand babies in his sixty-one years of service to Somerset and Fall River.

Download or read book Bristol and The Civil War written by John Lynch and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2009-07-20 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the seventeenth century Bristol was the second city of England. It was the main west coast port, an internationally important entrepot and rich trading centre. Industry flourished, too, with manufacturing and processing industries like soap making and gunpowder production responsible for Bristol's considerable wealth. In consequence, control of the town became one of the chief objectives of both armies during the civil war which raged in England in the 1640s. Beginning the war under Parliamentarian control, the city changed hands twice, with each transfer having a major effect of the war effort of both sides. This new study argues that when the Royalists captured Bristol in July 1643 they gained not only the city, but also the materials and facilities that literally allowed them to remain in the war. Under Royalist rule Bristol became a vital centre for military and government activities, as well as a centre for importing arms from Europe and becoming almost the alternative Royalist capital. The loss of Bristol in 1645 was therefore a huge blow to the Royalist cause. This book is surely one of the most important written on the civil wars in recent times. Its radical reinterpretation of the pivotal role of England's second city will ensure it a place on bookshelves of anyone interested in the most turbulent years of the seventeenth century
