Rogers' Rangers, 1942 Model V\7"HEN a party of United States ' Rangers went on a British Commando raid in German-occupied France recently, the ghost of doughty old Robert Rogers must have smiled grimly and apprecia tively to his fellows in that Valhalla where wander the shades of mighty warriors. For these American soldiers, trained like the British Commandos to climb mountains and jump down high cliffs, speed noiselessly through dense forests and kill silently with knives rather than with guns, gave such a good account of themselves against the Nazis «s to prove their right to be named for Rogers' Rangers and thus perpetuate, with their deeds, the fame of those rough-and-ready bushfighters of long ago. uV .

Y., where the Britisl and Colonial forces were being assembled to attack the French fortat Crown Point and Ticonderogs Sir William Johnson, the great Colonial leader, knowing of Rogers reputation, used him and his mer as scouts. Making his headquar ters at Fort William Henry, a new post at the south end of Lake Cham plain, Rogers began a series o.r forays against the French and their Indian allies. So valuable did these New Hampshiremen prove to be as scouts anfighters that at the opening of the. spring campaign in 1756, their lead er was given a special commissior by the Earl of Loudon, British com mander-in-chief, to raise a picket' 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, who were tr> become the terror of their enemies and set the pattern for fighting methods of American frontiersmen for the next century. Some of their adventures" and their exploits make those of the dime novel heroes seem tame bv comparison. When Kenneth Roberts came to write an historical noveJ about Rogers' Rangers, it wasn't necessary for him to draw upon his imagination to make it thrilling. All he had to do was tell the facts--as anybody who saw the movie "Northwest Passage" can testify. Rogers' reward for his service was small. He visited England and suffered from poverty until he bor rowed money with which to print his Journal. He presented this to th« king and in 1765 was appointed com mandant at Michillimackinac. Accused of dishonesty he was sent in irons to Montreal and court-mar tialed. He went to England agait< but was soon imprisoned for debt Later he returned to America and at the outbreak of the Revolutior found himself suspected by both tht Patriots and Tories. Arrested bv orders of Washington, he was later placed on parole but he was so em bittered by this treatment that ht broke his parole and openly joinec the British. Banished from America in 1778 he went to England where his later career was described as "wild, im provident and extra vagaiu." He died some time after 180Qt "a victim to his evil habits." Tbus ended in anti-climax the life of fiiis "firstclass fightin' man." - f Among those who senred as Rogers' Rangers were tw# who were destined for future fanpe as leaders in the Continental arrr(y during the Revolution. One was another New Hampshireman, John Stark, later the victor at the Battle of Benning ton, a "curtain-raiser" to the decisive battle of the Revolution--Sar atoga. The other was from Con necticut and he was associated with Rogers in some of his most darinexploits against the French and Indians.
