About this book
In the early 18th century, Scotland was a battleground for religious and political strife, with the Covenanters standing firm against oppression. "Old Mortality, Volume 1" by Sir Walter Scott intricately weaves this tumultuous history through the eyes of Robert Paterson, affectionately known as Old Mortality, who dedicates his life to preserving the tombstones of these brave dissenters. This historical novel not only highlights the significance of memorialization but also explores themes of faith and resistance. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this compelling narrative invites readers to reflect on the enduring impact of unalienable rights and the struggle for identity in the face of adversity. Discover the rich tapestry of Scotland's past through Scott's masterful storytelling.
