On the frozen lakes and dark forests of 1750s colonial North America, a handful of green-coated rangers changed the way wars were fought. The frontier was a crucible. In The History Of Rogers' Rangers (Volume I): The Beginnings, Jan 1755 - April 6, 1758, Burt Garfield Loescher follows the birth of the legendary Rogers' Rangers military unit as it learns to survive and strike along the contested Great Lakes frontier during the French and Indian War. Blending vivid narrative with meticulous research, he sets colonial American history against the wider clash of empires, tracing how irregular scouting, ambush, and colonial ranger warfare tactics reshaped British colonial frontier campaigns. Drawing on contemporary reports and period documents, and immersed in the world evoked in Robert Rogers' journal and correspondence, Loescher crafts a foundational military history book that remains indispensable for anyone fascinated by French and Indian War history. At once readable and rigorously documented, it rewards casual readers seeking gripping true accounts of 18th-century combat, while serving as a trusted reference for historical reenactors, researchers, and for military history buffs studying early special operations on the American frontier. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, a collector's item and a cultural treasure. As Rogers' Rangers History Volume 1, this modern classic anchors any library on 1750s colonial North America and Great Lakes frontier warfare, appealing equally to students of the past and to serious collectors of definitive campaign studies.
