From the introduction: With the outbreak of Civil War in England in August 1642 the Royalists in the West Country were confined to the western half of Cornwall. Although they managed to capture the rest of the county the fighting see sawed from Devon to Cornwall. By January 1643 the Devonshire parliamentarians received reinforcements from the east and the Cornish were forced back deep into the county until they faced the enemy at Braddock Down. This book outlines the background to the battle, details the battle itself and gives the accounts of the participants. It also provides details of the units involved and the topography of the battlefield. Contents include:
