Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Micah Clarke" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a historical adventure novel published in 1889. Set during the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685, it follows young Micah Clarke as he transforms from a naive boy seeking adventure into a hardened soldier of fortune. Fighting for the Protestant cause against Catholic King James II, Micah experiences the Battle of Sedgemoor, witnesses brutal aftermath hangings, faces the infamous Judge Jeffreys in the Bloody Assizes, and narrowly escapes slavery. Through harrowing trials, he becomes increasingly disillusioned with religious extremism, ultimately embracing toleration over fanaticism.
