by Robert Garfield Loescher.  Hardbound, 300 pages, 5" x 9". The long-awaited chronicle of this tragic and infamous event. This "commando" attack, initially successful, would be forever scarred by the violent deaths and starvation suffered by the Rangers during their return journey. Many legends have grown around the story of the St. Francis Raid, most of them centering around the valuable silver and gold treasures stolen from the mission chapel by the Rangers and buried along the return routes. Exhaustive appendixes, detailed maps, and splendid color illustrations make this study a complete source of reference for the historian, the treasure hunter, the Rogers' Ranger enthusiast, as well as the lover of exciting early Americana.
