Robert Rogers' Rules for the Ranging Service
Major Robert Rogers of the famous Rogers' Rangers wrote the Rules for the Ranging Service in 1757 to instruct selected members of the regular British Army in the techniques of "woods warfare" in North America: ambush, attack, pursuit, retreat, and other tactics. In this book, Matt Wulff analyzes each rule and depicts it in practical use with excerpts from historical journals and accounts of the exploits of Rogers' Rangers. Maps, diagrams, and photographs add visual dimension to the descriptions. The opening chapter explains the development of Rogers' Rangers, their habits, clothing, gear, and weapons. Several types of eighteenth-century muskets are pictured and described in the appendix. The index includes names and subjects. Rogers' Rangers earned their place in military history as the model for the soon-to-evolve light infantry. Special Forces such as the Green Berets and the United States Army Rangers have adapted Rogers' Rules for the Ranging Service for modern military use.

Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes...

Into this harsh environment was born Robert Rogers, a boy who would grow up to be a brilliant leader of men and become one of the most charismatic, if flawed characters of his era. Over the course of his colorful career, Rogers was a frontiersman, farmer, trapper, Ranger leader, Indian fighter (and friend), speculator, merchant, London socialite and commandant of the most important fur trading post in the West of the 1760s. It was during the French and Indian War that he set down the Rangers' "Standing Orders" on survival and guerilla ...
