The Moss Troopers is a historical novel written by Samuel Rutherford Crockett and published in 1912. The story is set in the 17th century in the Scottish Borders, a region that was notorious for its lawlessness and violence at the time. The novel follows the adventures of a group of moss troopers, a band of outlaws who make their living by raiding English settlements and stealing cattle.The main character of the novel is Wat Tinlin, a young moss trooper who is known for his daring raids and his skill with a sword. Despite his outlaw status, Wat is a hero to the people of the Borders, who see him as a defender of their rights against the oppressive English authorities.The novel is full of action and adventure, as Wat and his band of moss troopers engage in daring raids and battles with the English soldiers who are sent to catch them. Along the way, Wat falls in love with a young woman named Marget, who is the daughter of a wealthy English landowner. Their love affair is complicated by the fact that they come from opposite sides of the conflict, and by the fact that Marget’s father is determined to capture Wat and bring him to justice.The Moss Troopers is a classic adventure story that captures the spirit of the Scottish Borders in the 17th century. It is a thrilling tale of love, loyalty, and daring deeds that will keep readers on the edge of their seats from beginning to end.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
