A commander's account of the campaigns of his famous regiment
Robert Rogers and his Rangers are familiar to students of the early
wars of America. During the French and Indian War, they won lasting
renown originating an operational style that has endured to be an
essential component of modern armies. Scant few years after the
defeat of France in the New World another war would come. It would
be a bitter conflict between Crown and colony, neighbour against
neighbour, friend against former friend. As the emergent American
nation began its painful birth, its people divided between those
who fought for old allegiances and those who sought independence.
Robert Rogers allied himself to the British cause. As a 'loyalist'
he formed a new regiment--The Queen's Rangers. Commanded by John
Simcoe, with whose name they would forever be associated, these
rangers embodied the spirit of their forebears. They were light
troops, clad in green, expert shots, skilled in scouting and
ambush. Now there was even a mounted contingent--the Huzzars. This
fascinating book chronicles the campaign Queen's Rangers against
the new Continental Army, Militia and its old enemies the French
and the fierce Indians of the Eastern Woodlands--every action
described in detail by their leader.
