Note 283 — PART THIRD. HISTORY OF THE HIGHLAND REGIMENTS.
Reading edition
“During the whole of 1756 the regiment remained in Albany inactive. During the winter and spring of 1757, they were drilled and disciplined for bush-fighting and sharp-shooting, a species of warfare for which they were well fitted, being in general good marksmen, and expert in the management of their arms.”—Stewart’s Sketches.
