Journals of Major Robert Rogers

containing an account of the several excursions he made under the generals who commanded upon the continent of North America during the late war : from which may be collected the most material circumstances of every campaign upon that continent, from the commencement to the conclusion of the war : with an introduction and notes, and an appendix containing numerous documents and papers relating to the doings of Major Rogers while commanding at Michilimackinack, in 1767, and his conduct in the early part of the Revolutionary War

Robert Rogers was a frontiersman in New Hampshire at the beginning of the French and Indian War, when he began recruiting volunteers to serve as soldiers in new military companies that were soon being called “Rogers’ Rangers”, as he commanded them. Rogers and his rangers went on to fame in a number of actions against the French, and also led an attack against Pontiac at Detroit in 1763 to relieve the siege of Detroit.

In 1766 Rogers was given command of Fort Michilimackinac, at the northern tip of the lower peninsula of Michigan. In that position Rogers tried to put into play his own plan for establishing improved relations with the Indians in the region, but he had strong opposition from other British commanders. In 1767 Rogers was arrested and charged with treason. Although eventually acquitted, that essentially ended his military career.
