The Flight of Bonnie Prince Charlie
"On 22 July 1745 Prince Charles Edward Stuart, heir to the exiled Stuart dynasty, made landfall at Barra Head, the southernmost tip of the Outer Hebrides. For the 25-year-old prince, it was a day he had waited for all his life, and an historic moment, for it was the first time he had touched the soil of his native Scotland. From childhood he had been brought up to believe that the Stuarts had a divine right to rule Britain; now it lay within his grasp. But within nine months, his plans lay in ruins at the feet of the Hanoverians. For six glorious weeks, he had reigned at Holyroodhouse as Prince Regent, adored by every Jacobite who had dreamed of a Stuart monarchy and mesmerised by sweet success; now the restoration was over." "With its magnificent colour photographs showing the dramatic locations of Bonnie Prince Charlie's months' on the wing', and strongly told narrative, this book will appeal not only to anyone fascinated by the tragedy and triumph of the Stuart cause and its place in British history, but also to visitors to the landscapes which the Prince made his own."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Rash Adventurer
"Prince Charles Edward Louis John Casimir Sylvester Severino Maria Stuart (31 December 1720 ? 31 January 1788) commonly known as Bonnie Prince Charlie or The Young Pretender was the second Jacobite pretender to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland. This claim was as the eldest son of James Francis Edward Stuart, himself the son of King James VII and II. Charles is perhaps best known as the instigator of the unsuccessful Jacobite uprising of 1745, in which he led an insurrection to restore an absolute monarchy in the Kingdom of Great Britain, which ended in defeat at the Battle of Culloden that effectively ended the Jacobite cause. Charles's flight from Scotland after the uprising has rendered him a romantic figure of heroic failure in later representations."--Wikipedia.
