Description
The Frontier Rangers of Colonial New England: From King Philip's War to the American Revolution The rugged landscape of 18th-century New England was home to a unique breed of warrior: the colonial ranger. Men like Robert Rogers, Israel Putnam, and John Stark spent their lives mastering the wilderness, only to find themselves in the midst of battle against seasoned Abenaki warriors. The Wright and Porter families, too, fought bravely throughout western New England, from skirmishes in Charlestown to climactic battles on Lake Champlain and Lake George. From the blood-soaked battlefields of Massachusetts to the fight for the wilderness of New Hampshire and Vermont, Anthony Blasi explores the transformation of these ordinary men into hardened warriors. This is a story of survival, of adaptation, and of the unyielding spirit of the New Englanders who called the wilderness home. Through meticulous research, Blasi brings to life the fascinating history of the colonial rangers, shedding light on a pivotal period in American history that is often overlooked.
