by by Burt G. Loescher.  Hardbound, 311 pages, 5” x  9”.  This collection, much sought after by connoisseurs of colonial American military history, is once again inprint.  Originally published in 1969, it constitutes Volume II of Burt Loescher’s meticulously researched History of Rogers’ Rangers. This work offers the complete record of every action, ambuscade, scout and expedition of Major Robert Rogers and his Rangers from April 6, 1758 (just after their defeat in the Battle on snowshoes during the French and Indian War), to their disbandment on December 24, 1783, at the end of the American Revolution.  From 1758 to 1761, the Rangers were active as scouts and advance guards from Canada to the West Indies.  Known mainly for their ambuscades around Fort Ticonderoga and Lake Champlain, they also served at the siege of Louisbourg, the fall of Quebec, on the Great Lakes, and in the southern theatre against the Cherokee.  In 1763 the corps was revived to take part in Pontiac’s Rebellion.  During the American Revolution, Rogers fought on the British side and commanded Rogers’ Queen’s and King’s Rangers.  Tragically, this extraordinary leader died in disgrace a years after the Revolution in a London debtor’s prison.  Robert Rogers’ famous Ranging Rules for bush fighting have been handed down and adapted by elite military corps such as Darby’s Rangers in World War II and the Green Berets in Vietnam.
