| Summary | "Historical Record of the Sixth, or Inniskilling Regiment of Dragoons" by Richard Cannon is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This detailed narrative chronicles the formation of the Sixth, or Inniskilling Regiment of Dragoons, beginning in 1689 and including significant military engagements through to 1846. The book focuses on the regiment's notable actions, bravery, and the evolution of cavalry in the British Army, reflecting the political and military dynamics of the time. The opening portion of the book sets the stage by discussing the historical background leading to the establishment of the Inniskilling Dragoons amidst the political turmoil of King James II's reign. It highlights the resistance of Protestant communities in Ireland against oppressive forces, particularly emphasizing the critical events at Londonderry and Inniskilling. The narrative details the formation of military units to protect against these threats and the evolution of these forces into the recognized regiment, characterized by its valiant contributions and transformative role in the conflicts of the time. This introductory context outlines the regiment's significance and establishes a foundation for the ensuing detailed accounts of their engagements and heroic feats.
