520 _a"Historical Record of the Twenty-first Regiment, or the Royal North British Fusiliers" by Richard Cannon is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work provides a detailed chronicle of the formation and military history of the Twenty-first Regiment from its inception in 1678 through its actions up to 1849. The focus is on the regiment's contributions and achievements in various significant conflicts, emphasizing the valor and dedication of the British soldiers. The opening of the historical record outlines the establishment of the Twenty-first Regiment during a tumultuous period in Scotland, where political and religious conflicts prevailed. It discusses the regiment's origins under the command of Charles, Earl of Mar, and its initial armament with light muskets as "Fusiliers." The narrative provides context about the political landscape of the time, mentioning key events such as the murder of Archbishop Sharp and the subsequent battle at Bothwell Bridge, setting the stage for the regiment's evolving role in military campaigns over the centuries. The text establishes a foundation for understanding the regiment’s storied history, detailing both significant battles and changes in military tactics as they relate to the regiment's experiences.
