FOURGOODMEN battle of Culloden 2008

Towards one o'clock, the Jacobite artillery opened fire on government soldiers. The government responded with their own cannon, and the Battle of Culloden began.

Bombarded by cannon shot and mortar bombs, the Jacobite clans held back, waiting for the order to attack. At last they moved forwards, through hail, smoke, murderous gunfire and grapeshot. Around eighty paces from their enemy they started to fire their muskets and charged. Some fought ferociously. Others never reached their goal.

Battering Smiley on Culloden is a bit of an extreme way of getting Brian McGee into Fourgoodmen. Besides it was 3 to 1 there. Were we not outnumbered at Culloden..lol. Great to hear a few snippets of the Sons of Dan recordings Derek on your MySpace site. Keep up the great work.
