    3. Thanks. I've discovered (TCD web page, it amazing what you can do with Google) that Jane Ohlmeyer is the Erasmus Smith Prof of Modern History at Trinity. She is a St Andrew's graduate, and seems to have very strong connections with Scotland. Strange when I was there it was Theo Moody. That is a book which should be republished. His Plantation of Londonderry. The printers was destroyed in the Blitz, and only a relatively few copies of the book exist. The result is that it is not well known. Haven't handled one for almost 40 years and I can't remember a lot about it. Didn't know about the Furgol book Sounds interesting.

An antiquarian volume nowadays but very well worth the read if you can lay hands on`t. Edward mentions Jane Ohlmeyer. She with John Kenyon edited "The Civil Wars - a Military History of England, Scotland and Ireland 1633-1660 " Oxford Univ. Press 1998. ISBN 0-19-866222-x. An excellent work albeit detailed. The Scottish end of the unending wars is well covered by "A Regimental History of the Covenanting Armies 1639-1651 " by Edward M Furgol, Edinburgh, John Donald Publishers, 1990. ISBN 0-85976-194-0. Goes into great detail but quite fascinating when tied in with the Marquis of Montrose and his brilliant campaigns obo Charles I. Happy reading Brian Orr brian@orrnamestudy.com Author of "As God is my Witness - The Presbyterain Kirk, the Covenanters and the Ulster Scots2 and "A Laymans Guide to theScottish Reformation". ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles.Clark To: Scotch-Irish-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2005 1:42 AM Subject: Re: [Sc-Ir] Beatty
