Originally published in 1910, Ernest Broxap"s detailed study of the English Civil War in Lancashire is now a much sought-after reference, valued for its impressive research and use of many original sources. The account covers all the major events which occurred in Lancashire during this turbulent period, including the sieges of Manchester and Lathom House, Prince Rupert"s actions in Lancashire best known for his storming and "massacre" of Bolton, and the battles of Preston and Wigan, besides recounting numerous less well-known incidents. Helion"s edition of The Great Civil War in Lancashire is much more than a straightforward reprint. This new edition features a specially commissioned essay by Dr Stephen Bull a noted Lancashire Civil War authority that outlines Broxap"s contribution to ECW history, and summarizes more recently published works on this subject. In addition, Helion"s edition also features a number of Stephen Beck"s delightful Civil War sketches (many will doubtless recall Stephen"s drawings being featured in Brigadier Peter Young"s seminal ECW titles published by Roundwood Press in the 1970s). This edition is printed on high-quality paper, in a limited edition of 500 individually numbered copies. The Great Civil War in Lancashire is the first in a planned series of high-quality English Civil War titles to be published by Helion.
