A valuable and lively account of the Duke of Marlborough's campaigns by a senior Scottish soldier who was wounded at the Battle of Blenheim. Blackader managed to survive the wars, dying at age 65 as deputy governor of Stirling Castle in his native Scotland. His papers were cast aside after his death and lay neglected for years until they were sold to a local tobacconist who saved them from destruction. Published almost a century after the events they describe, the memoirs are now recognized as one of the most animated and useful accounts of military life in the early 18th century.
