And that may he the reason why be is forgotten.
Hut in the military annals of America the Battle
of Rogers’ Rock, fought on March IS, 1758. near
Lake George tn New York holds a place that Is
almost unique. Attacked by a force of 100 French
and 600 Indiana MaJ. Robert Rogers and ISO of
bis Rogers’ Rangers, fought from three o'clock In
the afternoon ant!! nightfall before retreating. In
that battle the Rangers killed ISO of the enemy
but they suffered a loss of 100 killed— one of the
largest casualty lists. In proportion to the num
ber of men engaged. It is believed, in American
warfare.
Yet this was only one of a number of desperate
enterprises which made the name Rogers’ Rangers
• synonym for a daring and resourceful type of
fighting man and which caused his enemies to
regard him as a "dreaded partisan." Rogers was
born In Dunbarton. N. U „ In 1727. the son of
Janies Rogers, an early settler of that place. His
couth was spent as a hunter and trapper In the
forests of New F.ngland and Canada and his
familiarity with the Indians and Indian methods
yf warfare were to make him Invaluable to the
British generals in the French and Indian war.
At the opening of that conflict tn 1755 Rogers
'ed a force of hardy woodsmen from New Hamp
shire to Albany. N. Y „ where the British and
Colonial forces were being assembled for an at
tack on the French forts at Crown Point and
Tlconderoga. He Is described at that time as
"over six feet high and physically the moot pow
erful man In the anny.” Sir William Johnson, the
treat Colonial leader, knowing of Rogers’ reputa
Mon. used him and his men as scouts. Making bis
headquarters at Fort William Heory. a new post
erected by the British at the south eod of Lake
George. Rogers began a series of forays against
the French and their Indian allies.
His courage and skill exceeded only by his
noldnesa. Rogers' exploits have made him an al
most legendary figure so that It is difficult to
separate the Action from the fact In some of the
stories told about him. One Incident is typical
Accompanied by two companions. Rogers set out
tn s canoe on a scooting expedition toward 71 con
deroga. They were discovered by a party of
French encamped on the shore of Lake George
but Instead of beating a hasty retreat they pre
tended to be fishermen and all day long they
floated within gunshot distance of the enemy bait
ing their books and dropping them Into the clear
waters of the lake Then, so the story goes, they
bad the effrontery to sell their catch to the French
and at evening pushed on toward Tlconderoga
Falling In their desire to capture a prisoner, they
made their way back to the British lines under
cover of a snowstorm.
So valuable did Rogers and his New Hampshire
woodsmen prove to be as scouts and fighters that
at the opening of the spring campaign In 1756, he
was given a special commission by the Earl of
Loudon, commander In chief of the British forces
In America, to raise a picked corps of bush fighters
who were to receive the same pay as the regu
lars but who were to carry on their operations
In their own way. Thus came Into existence that
splendid body of military irregulars, known as
Rogers' Rangers, whose prowess woo the respect
of both the British and the French. One of Rog
ers’ lieutenants was another New Hampshireman,
John Stark, later the victor at the battle of Ben
nlngton. Another who was closely associated with
Rogers tn some of his most daring exploits was
from Connecticut— Israel Putnam. "Old Put" of
Bunker Hill and Long Island. Both Stark and
Putnam received from Rogers training In military
leadership which stood them In good steej during
the Revolution. But the fame which It brought
them passed by their old commander and comrade
In arms.
From time to time during the war the Ranrers
were gradually Increased from their original
strength of 62 men to more than a thousand. Their
••IBclal Instructions were "to use their best en
deacon to distress the French and their allies, by
sacking, burning and destroying their bouses
barns, barracks, canoes, bateaux. ete_ and by kill
Ing their cattle of every kind; and at all tlinee to
endeavor to destroy their convoys of provision bv
land and water. In every part of the country." And
no body of troops ever carried out their orders
more thoroughly than did these partisans. At that
time the French were offering the Indians glxfv
franca for every English scalp taken but they
would willingly have paid a hundred times that
amonnt for the scalp of Robert Rogers. All dur
Ing 1756 the Rangers harassed the enemy.

again giving the French commanders something to
worry about One of bis most dating, as well as
most Impudent, exploits took place on Christmas
eve of 1757. In a sudden dash against Tlconder
oga he set fire to the woodpiles of the garrison
and killed seventeen head of cattle. T o the horns
of one of the beeves he attached a note to the
commander In the fort which said: " I am obliged
to you, sir. for the repose you have allowed me
to take. I thank you for the fresh meat you have
sent me. I will take care of my prisoners. I re;
quest you to present my compliments to the Mar
quis de Montcalm. (Signed) Rogers, Commander
of the Independent Companies."
But the French were soon to have an oppor
tunity to pay off some old scores against the dar
ing Ranger. On March 10. 1758, Rogers was or
dered to lead an expedition of 180 Rangers against
Tlconderoga. Since the capture of Fort William
Henry, the enemy had been very active and strong
forces of the Indians were scouting the country
in every direction. Knowing this, Rogers pro
tested that the force given him was too large for
a scouting party and too small to hold Its own In
a pitched battle. He asked for 400 men but his
request was refused. With 15 Rangers on skates
as an advance guard. Rogers’ little army advanced
by night over the frozen surface of Lake George
to within eight miles of Tlconderoga. There bis
advance guard saw what they believed to be the
glow of a campfire. But when Rogers marched
forward swlfrly to attack, no sign of an enemy
could be found and the commander concluded that
bis scouts bad been mistaken.
As a matter of fact, they had not been. For
the enemy had hastily extinguished their camp
fire when the approach of the Rangers was dis
covered and had sent word to the fort of the com
Ing of the English. Early the next morning Bog
era and hia men resumed their march on snow-
shoes through snow four feet deep. Early In the
afternoon the Rangers discovered a party of about
100 hostile Indians near at hand and Immedl
ately attacked, killing nearly half of them. Be
lieving this was the entire force of the enemy.
Rogers pushed on. only to find himself facing
over 600 well-armed Indians and Canadians who
bad been sent from Tlconderoga to meet him.
T h e Ranger captain, seeing that his little force
would soon be wiped out. ordered them to retreat
to their former position near what Is now known
as Rogers’ Rock. But before they had reached
there more than a third of their number had
been slain. With cool desperation, Rogers and his
men made a stand there and tried to beat off
th« angry horde which surged around them. On
the left of bis line, where he had posted a detach
ment to prevent bis being flanked. Ueutenonf
Phillips and ten men were taken prisoners by the
enemy, tied to trees In sight of their friends and
hacked to pieces hy the Indians.
Seeing that his command was doomed If be
tried to hold his ground. Rogers, with 20 men.
rushed to an Icy precipice over a hundred fee*
high which sloped abruptly down to the lake
lumped over the brink and slid dvwn to the lake
with terrific fores. This place, on the shores ot
I.«k r George, known as “ Rogers’ Slide” or "Rog
era’ Leap." is pointed out to the tourist of today
who Is told how the Ranger leader escaped there
from the Indians who. believing he had slid down
the precipice under the protection of fhe Great
S p irit made not attempt at further pursuit How
ever. Windsor, the historian, says. "Th e legend
of Rogers’ slide near the lower end of Lake
George has no stable foundation.”
Reports on the casualties of the two forces also
vary. One version la that Rogers had 170 men
end Inst 100. as against the enemy's haul of 150 of
their 700. Another version says that Rogers lost
“ 106 of his force of 180." Au official French re
port sta’ ea that Monsieur de la Purentaye. "an
officer of the colony at the head of 200 savages
and some Canadians, entirely destroyed a detach
ment of 100 English whom they met three leagues
from the fort. We lost In this occasion, 20 sav
ages killed and wounded."
There was great rejoicing among the French
that this “dreaded partisan" bad been killed and
bis followers annihilated. But they were mistaken
in regard to Rogers. During the tray Rogers had
cast aside his coat. In the pocket of which the
French found his commission. This gave rise to
the belief that he was dead. Rut he was very
much alive and early In 1759 he was again at the
head of a party of ItaDgera, acting ns advance
guard for the magnificent English army which
General Abercrombie was preparing to hurl
against Tlconderoga. He served valiantly In that
campaign which ended In such a dismal failure,
due to the stupidity of the English general, and
distinguished himself by cutting to pieces the ad
vance party of 3DO French under l-angy In this
fight Rogers raptured 150. killed 100. leaving only
50 to escape to Montcalm's party.
loiter that year Sir Jeffrey Amherst sent Rog
era and his Rangers tn destroy the Indian village
of 8 t. Francis near the St. I-awrenc* river, which
be did successfully, killing 200 Indians, taking
many prisoners and laying the village utterly to
waste. “Then, to elude parties endeavoring to cut
him off. he retreated to Luke Memphremagog to
Charlestown, on the Connecticut, enduring as be
went the excruciating horrors of famine and ex
haustlon." Th e next year he was ordered by Am
herst to take possession of Detroit and other
western posts that were ceded by the French after
the fall of Quebec. Ascending the St. Lawrence
with 200 Rangers, he visited Fort P itt bad an
Interview with the great chief Pontiac at a place
which Is believed to have been the present site
of Cleveland. Ohio, and successfully took posses
slon of Detroit.
After the war he visited England and suffered
