Carrick is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book delves into the life and exploits of Sir William Wallace, a key figure in the Scottish Wars of Independence, as he rises to the position of Guardian of Scotland and leads military campaigns against English invaders. The narrative focuses on the intense struggles and battles for Scottish freedom, showcasing Wallace's leadership and the challenges he faces from both external enemies and internal dissent among the Scottish nobility. The opening of the second volume introduces Wallace upon his appointment as Guardian, illustrating his immediate actions to unify and prepare Scotland for defense against Edward I of England. After achieving significant victories, including the capture of various castles and the organization of his forces, Wallace faces growing envy among the Scottish nobility, who band against him. The narrative details Wallace’s strategic military campaigns as well as his personal conflicts with other leaders, setting the stage for the internal strife that complicates the fight for Scotland's independence and eventually leads to pivotal battles, such as Falkirk.
