The Banner of Blue or The Career of the Covenant Flag is a collection of ballads and poems written by Angus Macpherson in 1865. The book tells the story of the great struggle for the National Covenant of Scotland, which took place in the 17th century. The National Covenant was a document that affirmed the Presbyterian faith and opposed the interference of the English monarchy in Scottish religious affairs.The poems in the book chronicle the events leading up to the signing of the National Covenant, the battles fought to defend it, and the eventual triumph of the Presbyterian cause. The Banner of Blue refers to the Covenant Flag, which became a symbol of the Scottish resistance against English tyranny.Macpherson’s poems are written in a traditional ballad style, with a strong emphasis on rhythm and rhyme. The language is rich and evocative, transporting the reader back to a time of great upheaval and political turmoil.Overall, The Banner of Blue is a stirring tribute to the Scottish people’s determination to defend their religious freedom and resist the forces of oppression. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Scottish history, poetry, or the struggle for religious liberty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
