Robert Rogers and Rogers Range

These training methods paid off when the rangers became the Crown forces chief scouting unit in the late 1750's.
             The first engagement the rangers were involved in while they were stationed in the Hudson River area was an ambush that Rogers actually initiated himself. Rogers and his men were checking on the new Fort Carillon, now Ticonderoga, the French were building. While the Rangers were resting, Rogers noticed a canoe of nine Indians coming toward him and his men. Rogers attacked the Indians when they approached him and his men, but because there were more soldiers behind the Indians Rogers and his men were forced to leave.
             There were also many other bloody and battles and skirmishes the rangers encountered in this area. None, however, was more bitterly contested than the action fought in the frozen woods on the west bank of Lake George in March of 1758 when Robert Rogers and his Rangers got into deep trouble a long way from home.
             The whole thing started when an order for a mid-winter strike of the French forts at Ticonderoga and Crown Point was changed instead to a sequence of reconnaissance patrols to be conducted north to the vicinity of Fort Ticonderoga and Crown Point on Lake Champlain. Captain Putnam was sent out first to make a patrol, and when they returned it was then Rogers Rangers turn to make their patrol. .
             The rangers used the 7th through the 9th of March in the preparation of supplies and equipment for their mission. But on the 10th, when Lt. Col. Haviland formally issued his operation order, Rogers discovered that Haviland had decided to reduce the size of the patrol significantly from 400 to 180 men. Rogers was in disbelief that his men would be successful in their mission with the elements of secrecy and surprise already lost. In the end Rogers had no choice but to obey the mission's orders despite how he felt.
             Rogers and his rangers, 184 men in all, departed from their camp on the island at Fort Edward at about mid-afternoon on March 10th and made it as far as half-way brook in the road leading to Lake George before they settled in for the first night.
