In Freedom's Cause: A Story of Wallace and Bruce. by Henty, G. A. (George Alfred), 1832-1902 - 191-?

NY, Worthington Co. [191-?]. Hard Cover. "There are few figures in history who have individually exercised so great an influence upon events as William Wallace and Robert Bruce. It was to the extraordinary personal courage, indomitable perseverance, and immense energy of these two men that Scotland owed her freedom from English domination. ...Mr. W. Burns... in his masterly and exhaustive work, 'The Scottish War of Independence'... has displayed Wallace as he was, a high-minded and noble patriot. While consulting other writers, especially those who wrote at the time of or but shortly after the events they record, I have for the most part followed Burns in all the historical portions of the narrative."
