The Boyne And Aghrim - Thomas Witherow

""The Boyne and Aghrim: Or The Story of Some Famous Battlefields in Ireland"" is a historical account of two significant battles that took place in Ireland during the late 17th century. Written by Thomas Witherow, the book provides a detailed description of the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 and the Battle of Aghrim in 1691. The Battle of the Boyne was fought between the forces of the deposed King James II and the Protestant King William III, who was supported by the Dutch and English armies. The battle was a turning point in Irish history, as it marked the beginning of Protestant dominance in Ireland and the decline of Catholic power. The Battle of Aghrim, which took place a year later, was another significant conflict between the same two sides. This battle also resulted in a victory for King William III and his supporters, and it further solidified Protestant control over Ireland. Throughout the book, Witherow provides a detailed account of the events leading up to each battle, the strategies employed by each side, and the aftermath of the conflicts. He also includes numerous maps and illustrations to help readers better understand the battles and their significance. Overall, ""The Boyne and Aghrim"" is a comprehensive and informative account of two pivotal battles in Irish history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Irish history, military strategy, or the political and religious conflicts that shaped the country in the late 17th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
