Description: "This book examines the landed interests, political ideologies and military campaigns of the north-west Ulster settlers in Ireland between 1640 and 1685. After outlining the landholding patterns of settlers on the eve of the rebellion of 1641, the author describes how they responded to the threat generated by that insurrection by forming themselves into a formidable military fighting corps, which was termed the 'Laggan Army'."--Jacket.
