| Summary | "Historical Record of the Thirteenth Regiment of Light Dragoons" by Richard Cannon is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The text provides a detailed and chronological overview of the formation and subsequent military service of the Thirteenth Regiment of Light Dragoons from its inception in 1715 up until 1842. This work discusses various battles, campaigns, and notable figures, notably emphasizing the regiment's significant contributions during military conflicts such as the Napoleonic Wars. The opening of the account begins with a context-setting general order issued on January 1, 1836, which outlines the intention to document the achievements of British regiments to honor their bravery and inspire future soldiers. Following this introduction, a preface highlights the importance of preserving military history for the motivation of current and future soldiers, detailing how the Thirteenth Regiment was established amidst domestic threats to Great Britain and recounting its early operations, including engagements during the Jacobite risings. The narrative illustrates the regiment's evolution and its prominent role in significant historical events, paving the way for a comprehensive understanding of its storied legacy.
