by Frederic Richards.  Softbound, 114 pages, 5” x 8”.  The Black Watch Regiment gained fame for its fearless charge during Major General James Abercrombie’s futile attack on Ticonderoga in 1758, in which more than half of the 1000 Highlanders were killed or wounded in one of the most dramatic battles of the French and Indian War. At this battle, Major Duncan Campbell met his death, as foretold by a ghost several years earlier at his home at Inverawe, Scotland.  The eerie legend is explained in this book, and was immortalized in Robert Louis Stevenson’s poem “Ticonderoga.”  This small but comprehensive volume gives a history of the Black Watch Regiment from 1667.  The Black Watch was also known as the 42nd Regiment of Foot, the Highlanders, the Royal Highlanders or Lord John Murray’s Highlanders.
