Carrick is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work provides an extensive examination of the life of Sir William Wallace, a notable figure in Scottish history known for his role in the Wars of Scottish Independence against England. It delves into his early life, the socio-political climate of 13th-century Scotland, and the key events that led to his rise as a national hero. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces Wallace and sets the stage by discussing the turbulent state of Scotland during the 13th century, including the impact of English aggression on Scottish liberties. The introduction highlights the significant societal and systemic issues that prompted Wallace to become a pivotal master-spirit of his time. Carrick hints at the mix of admiration and obscured historical fact surrounding Wallace's legacy, establishing a backdrop that prepares readers for an exploration of his formative years and the key battles that would define his resistance against English rule. The opening promises a detailed exploration of both the historical realities of Wallace's life and the legends that have arisen around him.
