Description

A provocative account of the 78th Fraser’s Highlanders and its an important place in history.

The remarkable story of the boys of the 78th Fraser’s Highlanders moves from the 1745 Jacobite Riot in Scotland, throughout the Seven Years’ War and the American Revolution, to the War of 1812.

Simon Fraser, chief of the Clan Fraser of Lovat, raised the 78th Highlanders, a regiment that played an important role in defeating the French at the Plains of Abraham. Driv’n by Fortune tackles the myths embedded in nationalistic history and in fictional accounts of these Highland soldier-settlers who brought the Scottish Enlightenment to North The us.

The affect of the 78th Fraser’s Highlanders, which extended far beyond Scotland and the Canada in their times, is in any case being told.
