Osprey (Raid)

In 1758, at the height of the French and Indian War, British Brigadier General John Forbes led his army on a methodical advance against Fort Duquesene, French headquarters in the Ohio valley. As his army closed in upon the fort, he sent Major Grant of the 77th Highlanders and 850 men on a reconnaissance in force against the fort. The French, alerted to this move, launched their own counter-raid. 500 French and Canadians, backed by 500 Indian allies, ambushed the highlanders and sent them fleeing back to the main army. With the success of that operation, the French planned their own raid against the English encampment at Fort Ligonier less than fifty miles away. With only 600 men, against an enemy strength of 4,000, the French & Amerindians launched a daring night attack on the heart of the enemy encampment. This book tells the complete story of these ambitious raids and counter-raids, giving in-depth detail on the forces, terrain, and tactics.

Author: Ian Macpherson Mcculloch

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.

Author: Ian Macpherson Mcculloch

Chronicles the stirring story of the three Highland regiments that soldiered in North America during the French and Indian War. The exploits of the 42nd (Black Watch), 77th (Montgomery's) and 78th (Fraser's) Highlanders, in some of the most bloody and desperate battles ever fought on the this continent, were a critical factor in transforming the overall image of Highlanders in the latter half of the 18th century from Jacobite rebels to Imperial heros.
