| Summary | "The Standard Bearer" by S. R. Crockett is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set during the turbulent times of the late 17th century in Scotland, focusing on the life of a young boy named Quintin MacClellan. As Quintin comes of age amidst conflict and danger, the narrative explores themes of faith, loyalty, and the search for identity in a world marked by persecution and turmoil. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Quintin MacClellan, a shepherd boy who witnesses a harrowing scene on Midsummer Day in the year 1685. As he tends to his family's flock on the hills of Galloway, he becomes entangled in the violent pursuit of Covenanters by government troops. This event marks a transformative moment in his life, as he grapples with the brutality of oppression and the loss of innocence that follows. The opening chapters highlight both his personal journey and the broader historical context of the Covenanter movement in Scotland, setting the stage for a gripping tale of sacrifice and a struggle for human dignity.
