The Men of the Moss-Hags Being a history of adventure taken from the papers of William Gordon of Earlstoun in Galloway

"The Men of the Moss-Hags" by S. R. Crockett is a journey into the heart of Scotland's turbulent past through the eyes of young William Gordon, who recounts his youthful escapades during the Covenanters' struggles. Growing up with his cousin, Maisie May, they find solace in games overlooking the Scottish landscape, unaware of the dangers that await them as William's family becomes increasingly involved in the Covenanting movement. The story sets the stage for a tale of adventure, loyalty, and the harsh realities of a divided nation, where childhood innocence clashes with the looming threat of violence and sacrifice.
