Download or read book Ranger Raid written by Phillip Thomas Tucker and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A figure of legendary, almost mythic proportions, Robert Rogers is widely considered the father of U.S. Army Rangers. He gained his fame during the French and Indian War, fighting in the American and Canadian wilderness for the British colonies and the English Empire against the French and Indians, but a decade later, during the Revolution, he was almost a man without a country. During the American Revolution, George Washington didn’t trust him—indeed, he had Rogers arrested in 1776—nor did the British, who, desperate, gave him a command anyway, and Rogers was pivotal in arresting and executing American spy Nathan Hale. However, Rogers' saga begins in the French and Indian War in what was a true American Odyssey. Ranger Raid digs deep into Rogers’ most controversial battle: the raid on St. Francis in Canada during the French and Indian War. On October 4, 1759, Rogers and 140 Rangers raided the Native American town of St. Francis, Canada, as part of British general Jeffery Amherst’s plan to gain intelligence in the St. Lawrence region. At the time, and for many decades thereafter, this was seen as a great victory—but now it seems like more of a massacre. Phillip Thomas Tucker refreshes this story, combining the biography of Robert Rogers, the history of his Rangers, and the history of the native peoples in this region, to tell a new story of the St. Francis raid and its influence in the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War, and ever after.

Book excerpt: Ranger Caleb McPherson: As a teenager, Caleb caught poisonous snakes with his bare hands, rode untamed horses, and chewed tobacco that would make a grown man ill. And no one his age in Southwest Louisiana wanted to fight him.In the late 1830s, traveler tales of Texas captivated his imagination. At twelve, Caleb decided that he was going to Texas. He wanted to live Texas! One day, he heard about the Texas lawmen, the ones who rode the range armed with repeater pistols, fighting whoever threatened settlers and their settlements. He knew that day he would become a ranger, one of those Texas rangers. His father warned him that Texas was not Louisiana. "If you go to Texas, you will have to kill a man one day, and killing a man wasn't anything like killing a turkey." In Texas, his father's words returned to haunt him ... but on a scale that he never had expected.In the early 1840s, Caleb left home at sixteen and headed west on a mule; he was armed with two flintlock pistols and a double barrel shotgun. Determined as he was, Caleb sought out the rangers in San Antonio. There he traded in his flintlocks for two Patterson Colts and his mule for a mustang, becoming one of the youngest men to ride with the rangers. Little did he know that just as he reached seventeen, he would face the greatest firefight of his life ... and the worst was yet to come.
