Sons of the Mountains chronicles the stirring story of the three Highland regiments that soldiered in North America during the French & Indian War, 1756-1764. From the windswept crags of Signal Hill in Newfoundland to the Forks of the Ohio in the Pennsylvania wilderness, and from the Great lakes and outposts of New France to the torrid cane fields and swamps of the Caribbean isles, the reader is exposed to the "Great War for Empire" as seen through the eyes of the Highland soldier. Undoubtedly, the expoits 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 North American 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 heroes.
