About This Book

A concise historical study traces the origins and organization of a Highland regiment, detailing its early formation, recruitment practices, and distinctive dress before concentrating on its role in the Ticonderoga campaign. The author explains difficulties in reconstructing events owing to lost or captured regimental records, describes archival and family-source research conducted in Britain, and synthesizes contemporary reports and dispatches. The piece also considers local memorialization at Ticonderoga and assembles scattered evidence to present a consolidated narrative of the regiment’s activities and legacy during that campaign.
