Well his name might sound like something the cat coughed up, but Edward Furgols work has proved to be a fantastic resource for this project.
"The Regimental History of the Covenanting Armies; 1639-1651", published by John Donald (ISBN 0 85976 194 0) was built out from Furgols Ph.D thesis at the University of Edinburgh.
I can't state enough how useful this book is. All the regiments would have been just a never-ending roll of grey figures without this. His accounts gave the blog some substance, and also a bit of color!
From lumps of lead to hard drinking, hard shagging, hard fighting soldiers!
I've heard he took some criticism from Stuart Reid but then he gets plenty to!
