The
Black Watch Regiment gained fame for its fearless charge during
Maj. Gen. James Abercrombie's futile attack on Ticonderoga in 1758,
in which more than half of the 1000 Highlanders were killed or wounded.
This small, but comprehensive, volume gives a history of the Black
Watch Regiment from 1667, also known as the 42nd Regiment of Foot,
the Highlanders, the Royal Highlanders or Lord John Murray's Highlanders.
