J. W. Fortescue is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the formation, evolution, and notable campaigns of the 17th Lancers, a British cavalry regiment. The narrative details their origins and operational history, covering key events and figures associated with the regiment, providing insight into military life and tactics of the time.  At the start of the history, the author outlines the regiment's early formation in 1759, following significant battles such as the fall of Quebec, which shaped the British military landscape. The preface highlights the challenges faced in compiling this history due to the lack of primary sources, necessitating the use of external documents and accounts from various military records and historical writings. Fortescue introduces Colonel John Hale, who played a pivotal role in raising the regiment and discusses the regiment's dress, equipment, and soldiering practices typical of the era, setting a foundation that illustrates the regiment's pride and distinguished service in British military history.
