Paperback. Zustand: Good. The resumption of conflict between 1648 and 1651 is frequently referred to as the Second and Third Civil Wars. The period marked not only a return to war, but to a bloodier, more violent conflict that had perhaps been seen before in the British Isles. Massacre, summary executions, wonton destruction and assault on the civilian population were commonplace. In early 1648 a political faction called the 'Engagers' gained control of the Scottish Government and sent an army into England to support numerous pro-Royalist risings across the country. Poorly equipped and trained with low morale, the Scottish 'Engager' Army and its Royalist allies were no match for the New Model Army led by Cromwell. The two sides met at Preston in August 1648 and after an initial clash, the Scots finally surrendered at Warrington two days later.Following the execution of Charles Ist in January 1649, the Scots supporting his son Charles IInd went to war against England, now a republic. A second invasion of England was launched, and the Scots found themselves corned at Worcester by English forces, once again led by Oliver Cromwell. The battle, the last major action of the British Civil Wars was fought on the 3rd September 1651, was described by Cromwell as 'a crowning mercy'.The venue for the 2022 conference was Worcester Cathedral. The obvious theme for the conference was the Scottish invasions of England in 1648 and 1651. Not only did Worcester witness the last major battle of the British Civil Wars, but the Cathedral was used as a temporary prison to hold the Scottish prisoners.The papers in this book of proceedings include: Ronald Hutton - Key Note Speaker and ForewordStuart Jennings - Colonel Francis Thornhagh and the Battle of Preston, 1648Peter Gaunt - A Tale of Two Risings: Was the second civil war in England and Wales primarily pro-Royalist or anti-Parliamentarian?Malcolm Wanklyn - The Control of Command in the British Wars 1642-1651 Edward Furgol - Three armies into one?

This precis, with photographs of original weapons of the period, was published in observance of the then forthcoming bicentennial of the War of Independence. From an obituary of the author posted on-line: "George C. Neumann was born on March 29, 1926 in New Britain, Connecticut. He attended Wesleyan University, Princeton University and Harvard Business School. He was a noted expert on the subjects of antiques and colonial military accoutrements and authored several books and periodicals on those topics. In 1979, George sold his extensive private collection of Revolutionary War weapons and artifacts to the National Park Service. Portions of The George C. Neumann Collection are on display at Valley Forge National Historical Park in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, while much of it is preserved in museum vaults. George was a founding member of the Brigade of the American Revolution and Third New Jersey Regiment historical reenacting organizations. He served honorably in the United States Navy during World War II. He was committed to the preservation of the history of America with a focused interest on the ideals of the Founding Fathers." Valley Forge National Historical Park takes care of and manages diverse collections of artifacts and documents related to the 1777-1778 encampment at Valley Forge and the soldiers and officers who fought for the independence of the United States. The George C. Neumann Collection is comprised of approximately 1600 historic items. The Neumann collection consists of four separate, yet related, parts: firearms, edged weapons, pole arms, and accouterments. It is through the study of these weapons and their use that we gain an understanding of how the common soldier achieved victory. This collections features Revolutionary War firearms that includes weapons from both sides of the conflict. The guns were were made by various manufacturers in different countries, including England, Germany, Spain, France, and America. Several different types are represented in the collection: flintlock muskets, fowlers, carbines, and rifles. In the area of Swords and Other Weapons from Valley Forge, the collection includes various swords and other bladed weapons. It contains military swords, hunting swords, halberds, a spontoon, and a pike. The hunting swords were civilian weapons that were used as symbols of rank by American officers who could not afford heavier military swords. The halberds in this collection are also distinctive. Locally made, their exuberant designs are examples of American folk art. Presumed first edition/first printing thus.…
