Original Gilt Titled Boards. Condition: Very Good +. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good +. 1st Edition. xiv+322p ill with family trees. Biography of Sir Alan Cameron of Erracht (1750-1828), the founder and first Colonel of the 79th Regiment, Cameron Highlanders " Even during his lifetime innumerable legends had grown up around Lie…u-tenant General Sir Alan Cameron of Erracht (1750-1828), sole founder and first Colonel of the 79th Regiment, the Cameron Highlanders. Disentangling fact from much cherished fiction has required patient research by the author, but the story it reveals is just as absorbing as any legend. Born in the Highlands shortly after the breaking of the clans, he left for America as a young man after killing his challenger in a duel. The outbreak of hostilities in the colonies found him serving with a Loyalist intelligence network. He was taken prisoner, escaped and was recaptured several times before being repatriated. In London he fell in love with and married a young girl without the consent of her father. He played a leading role in the repeal of the 'Unclothing Act' which forbade the wearing of Highland dress, and then turned his attention to raising a regi-ment of Highlanders for the British Army. He had the support of Dundas and Pitt but was secretly opposed by their enemies and by a rival faction within Clan Cameron. Despite this, the regiment was raised and he served with it with distinction over the next twenty years in the long wars with France.His achievement is the more remark-able because he was neither a peer with vast estates from which to recruit nor a clan chief. The regiment lives on today in The Queen's Own Highlanders (Sea-forth and Camerons)." In VG+ condition with gift inscription on fep of the book which is tight and clean; the unclipped d/w is near fine.See Scans.
