About this title

Synopsis

The Memoirs Of Captain George Carleton, And The Life And Adventures Of Mrs. Christian Davies by Captain George Carleton and Mrs. Christian Davies presents a composite memoir blending two distinct voices: a military officer’s first?person narrative and a woman’s autobiographical adventures in early modern warfare. The Carleton portion, set in late 17th–early 18th?century Europe, interweaves sieges, travelogue, and sharp observations of Spanish life and institutions across Alicant, Denia, Madrid, Bayonne, and beyond, with portraits of renowned commanders and political leaders. The Davies portion (Mother Ross) introduces a formidable heroine who fights in disguise as a foot soldier and dragoon, recounting her youth in Dublin (born 1667), the Jacobite conflicts, and the hardships of war, marriage, poverty, and resilience. Together, the excerpts illuminate war, gender roles, religion, court life, and survival across multiple theatres of the War of the Spanish Succession, through vivid anecdote, practical detail, and moral reflection.
