"Historical Record of the Seventy-Second Regiment, or the Duke of Albany's Own Highlanders" by Richard Cannon is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work chronicles the formation and subsequent service of the Seventy-Second Regiment in the British Army from 1778 to 1848, highlighting its military engagements and notable achievements, particularly focusing on its actions during the American and Indian wars. The opening of this historical record introduces the establishment
of the Seventy-Second Regiment under the command of the Earl of Seaforth during the late 18th century. It details the regiment's initial formation in response to the need for British forces during the American War of Independence and the subsequent deployment of the regiment to the East Indies. The narration discusses the regiment's early challenges, including assembly, inspection, and the eventual satisfaction of the forces demonstrated during military exercises, setting the stage for its future campaigns in significant battles and sieges in both America and India.
