Detailed essays on 18th-century uniforms, Highland weapons, specialist officers, and men (including pipers), as well as a comprehensive biographical index of all regimental officers (over 350 entries), who served in the three regiments--the 42nd (Black Watch), 77th (Montgomery's) and 78th (Fraser's) Highlanders--make this book the most complete and informative work on the history of the early Highland regiments of the British Army in North America during the French and Indian War to date. Lt. Col. Ian McCulloch is a former commander of the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada. He is the author of several books on Canadian and North American military history.
