Memoirs of Cavallier and the Cevennes Revolt
London Evening Post records Colonel Cavallier’s vivid memoirs of the Cevennes rebellion from 1701 to 1704. It traces the persecution under Louis XIV, the rise of Redes, and the battles led by Cavallier, with Montrevel and Villars negotiating with him at Nimes and Dijon. The piece details royal clemency offers, betrayals, and Cavallier’s flight to Switzerland and service under the Duke of Savoy and Heinsius, ending with his command of a regiment funded by England and the States.

Noted Tyrant Inhumanity and Sussex War Letters
A historical critique argues that a small, undisciplined force of twenty five thousand faced a much larger royal army led by Villars and Cavallier. It questions why thousands of trained patriots cannot be crushed by a vastly larger foe and defends the country’s liberty and extent against tyranny.
