The Persecuted Family

The Persecuted Family is a historical narrative written by Robert Pollok in 1843. The book tells the story of the Covenanters, a group of Scottish Presbyterians who were persecuted during the reign of Charles II in the late 17th century. The Covenanters were known for their commitment to religious freedom and resistance to the king's attempts to impose Anglican worship practices on Scotland. The book follows the story of a fictional family, the Wigtouns, who are Covenanters and face persecution for their beliefs. The family members are forced to flee their home and endure hardships, including imprisonment and torture. The book provides a vivid portrayal of the religious and political tensions of the time, as well as the courage and resilience of those who suffered for their beliefs. Overall, The Persecuted Family is a powerful and moving account of a dark chapter in Scottish history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
