The Black Watch-the 42nd Foot-are the senior highland regiment in
the British Army. In 1757 it was engaged in the Seven Years War as
it was fought in North America in the conflict that we term 'The
French and Indian War'. They would face one of their most severe
trials in combat as the British moved to dislodge the French Army
from its strongly held and vital strategic stronghold at Fort
Ticonderoga-or Carillon as it was known to the French. This already
formidable defensive position was made even more daunting by a wide
breastwork of fallen trees, their branches hewn into a tangle of
deadly spears. The Black Watch threw themselves upon it with their
famous broadswords in an attack that would go down in history and
regimental legend. This book covers the build up to the fateful
assault and the eventual fall of the fort and the campaigns beyond.
Extensive biographical sketches and muster rolls of the companies
of the regiment make it an essential tool for both those interested
in the period and genealogists alike.
