Condition & notes
In very good condition. Glossy illustrated paper covers have light bumping to edges and light overall scuffing. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. Black and white illustrations. Contents include: Regimental officers registers (42nd Foot, Royal Highland Regiment) (77th Foot, Montgomery's Highlanders) (78th Foot, Fraser's Highlanders); dress, weapons, equipment, and specialists; essays; muster rolls and land petitions; select and annotated bibliography. [From back cover] Detailed essays on 18th century Highland 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, 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 Seven Years' War to date. As many Highlanders opted for land grants in the New World after their discharge (some names of which are recorded in muster rolls contained in Part Four) this book will appeal to any family of Scottish descent as well as genealogists, military historians, "living history" enthusiasts and general readers alike.
