Sir William Wallace was a real life hero of the Scottish people and the battles, honors and his execution along with a lot of the circumstances in this book really happened. Miss Porter in writing this opened up the world of the struggle for freedom of the Scots in the late 1200s and 1300s. She satisfactorily invented plots and people and times (and especially the ending of the book) because there seems to be very little actual factual information about William Wallace in existence even today. She takes the reader from life in the peaceful times to the bitter battles and struggles that the people of those years faced everyday. She portrayed King Edward I (Longshanks) as the despot he really was.I love the book, and as a romantic, I really liked the ending. The ending sounds possible but not probable. That's all I'm saying about the end.Miss Porter writes very well, in my opinion, and has a good word picture flow through the chapters and the insertion of her book's content into the real times and events was/is believable and entertaining. She depicted the economic times and the wishy-washy characters of a lot of the nobles of that era - "do whatever you must to keep your nobility and holdings", in a most human way. I think any first time reader should enjoy it and could be as engrossed in it as I was. I literally read this book in about a week. For the number of pages, 504, of the book and the lack of speed with which I read, that is really moving for me. For me it was an "I can't put this book down". Give it a reading. ### ⭐⭐ Major Chris *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 29, 2013* When Jane Porter wrote "The Scottish Chiefs" more than 200 years ago, she was venturing into territory little known by women, the genre of the historical novel. As we read this wonderful book, we have to remember it was written in a romantic style, in a romantic age. The book had great appeal to all sorts of people then, but became most popular with younger readers. Jane Porter has given us a rich and colorful story of a man who is arguably Scotland's greatest hero. She paints a picture of a man which gives him god-like qualities; a little over the top by today's standards, but in her time, people ate this up, making the book a best seller. She took liberties with history, presumably for what she felt would make for a better story. As a scholar of Scottish history, I felt that had she followed the true history with respect to some of the actual characters, she could have improved her story even more.Years ago, I bought an original 1926 hardback edition of the book by Scribner, which included the wonderful color plates of paintings by N.C. Wyeth. More recently, to preserve the 1926 edition, I bought a contemporary printing by Atheneum. When I discovered this Kindle edition, I bought it ($.99 at the time) to make re-reading it more convenient. As I began reading however, some curious things soon appeared. There were typographical errors, where people's names and or titles, were not capitalized, when they should have been. Place names were misspelled. I discovered places where key words were missing or wrong, where phrases were repeated, where sentences were repeated, and towards the end, where paragraphs were repeated.I see that the Kindle edition has been withdrawn from sale because of formatting issues. I hope the editors will spend a bit more time correcting so many mistakes. This is a wonderful book, but I would like to see an editor's preface added to the Kindle edition, in which the reader is reminded that it is a work of historical fiction, and as such, includes departures from actual history, which must be compared with the facts. The true story is even more amazing! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great historical novel! *by D***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 16, 2022* This book takes me back to when I first read it in high school. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/9067536-the-scottish-chiefs-paperback-june-1-2004](https://www.desertcart.de/products/9067536-the-scottish-chiefs-paperback-june-1-2004) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
