- Rogers' Rangers & The American Ranger Corps 1755 - 1775 -
An inside look at the elite teams that now are the frontline of America’s defense and are increasingly used since 9/11 in the fight against terror. Engage in the stories of Navy Seals, Army Rangers, Delta Force, and the special ops teams specialized in counterterrorism that are filled with brave American heroes heading into combat for freedom.
Initially a provincial company from the colony of New Hampshire and attached to the British Army during the Seven Years' War (French and Indian War) - the unit was quickly adopted into the British army as an independent ranger company. Major Robert Rogers trained the rapidly deployed light infantry force tasked mainly with reconnaissance as well as conducting special operations against distant targets. The ranger corps became the chief scouting arm of British Crown forces by the late 1750s. The British valued Rogers' Rangers for their ability to gather intelligence about the enemy. They were disbanded in 1761.
Later, the company was revived as a Loyalist force during the American Revolutionary War. Nonetheless, a number of former ranger officers defected to fight against the British Army as Rebel (Patriot) commanders. Some ex-rangers participated as Rebel (Patriot) militiamen at the Battle of Concord Bridge.
Bringing to life with vivid recreations, sound and editing -- focused living-history documentaries on Rev War battles -- as well as some of the men who led and those who followed and fought with heroism and without regard for themselves - fighting for family, home… love of country and the men standing in line next to them.

My 5th Great Grand father was a Ranger under Christopher Truby's Rangers in Westmoreland County PA in the 1770s.
Pale Horseman ...also had a ranger in my family... long line of military patriots...serve on ...
Wow so awesome
One of my ancestors was with Rogers on the St. Francis raid and survived.
Your ancestor was very courageous .
Chris Newton: HOW TOTALLY COOL!!!
What did he write about it, how did he experience the expedition, what about the aftermath for the Rangers ?
@@MrPh30 I don't have any "family records" of his experience but I'm a direct descendant of Lt. Nathan Brigham of Southboro, Mass. His experience was recorded in a Ballad. here's the link: vermonthistory.org/journal/misc/RogersRetreat.pdf
@@chrisnewton5126 No "family records" means no proof of link. Never the less an opportunistic try so have a plastic Ceegar.
Read the book Northwest Passage by Kenneth Rogers. It describes the Obanaki Indian Raid at St. Francis and the history of Rogers. Unfortunately, George Washington did not trust Robert Rogers (the reason I do not know) and refused him a commission in the Continental Army. Anxious to get into action, he formed the Queen's Rangers and fought against the Americans in the Revolutionary War. After the war, he was forced to go to England and died penniless. He was broke because regimental commanders were promised land, but paid the soldiers under them and Rogers had to finance this himself and was always in debt
Rogers became an alcoholic , the reason Washington did not trust him as he had Met with William Tryon the royal governor of New York to get the land grant he was owned for his service in the French and Indian war
One of my ancestors was with him.in the Queens Rangers.
Rogers was a brilliantly effective and ruthless operator in the field. However, he had a very abrasive manner with little respect for authority and was not very good at all the officer politics which went on. He was also from a very different socio-economic background than most other officers which probably caused him further difficulties. Being an officer back then was an expensive business, hence why mainly the domain of the aristocratic, wealthy and well connected. Rogers, to fund this probably became a little too openly corruptible, mercenary and duplicitous which gave all those insecure, preening, sulking and sycophantic politically connected officers ideal ammunition to go after him with.
Missions such as the St Francis Raid involved civilians and prisoners being seen as fair game to be casualties. Washington, a highly principled man no doubt did not approve of such methods and in 1775 would have been disdainful of Ranger tactics. There is also Rogers socio-economic background which Washington and other Continental Army Commanders would have looked down upon. Rogers had also spent a lot of time in Britian and was playing both Loyalists and Patriots against each other. There is no doubt that he would have committed 100% to whichever side he ended up on but his drinking and mercenary nature saw him ruled out by Washington.
He was said to have been the only man Washington feared, here is the scene where they both meet in Turn -

@@nikkolettguyer4913 he had been followed and watched for a while by the Patriots and they were not impressed by what he was getting up to and the company he kept.
from what i understand is rogers actually had a commision in the british army, most provincials ,washington too, couldn't achieve that sad to say it may have been the green eyed monster
Roger's Rangers were fighting for their country, not "Britain" or "the British". They didn't want to be French vassals, ruled by an alien, corrupt and absolute monarchy. They were British subjects, and proud to be so, for all the 1776 revisionism.
Canada's York Rangers are the descendants of Roger's Rangers. This being without that revisioning you mention that hides the whole they were British.
They were already ruled by ain the city of Rogers rangers are fighting for their country are correct they were fighting for the English for great Britain
They later became the Queen's not the American rangers but the Queen's rangers
Little Bear ...what is your point? She would have been queen of her husband's British colonies, too. They're not mutually exclusive.
Roger’s Rangers were put together as a special force by the British to fight against the free hand their allies. They were in a way the forerunners of our SAS Regiment.
....That's a stretch.
And paid for out of the Kings purse, they were the forerunners of the Light Infantry then Special Forces of today.
Got half way through and realized most of the content was not about Roger’s Rangers. Try sticking to the title or change the title.
Thanks for the time save!
Yeah, it’s a misleading title. Thanks 👍
Agreed. Incredibly misleading title.
I agree. Luckily I fast-forwarded and saved some time.
I thought this was about Rogers Rangers?
The five truths also apply to the business world. Business is its very own form of warfare.
The US Rangers were founded by Major General Lucian Truscott of the US Army, a liaison officer with the British General Staff. In 1942, he submitted a proposal to General George Marshall that an American unit be set up "along the lines of the British Commandos". The original US Rangers trained at the British Commandos centre at Achnacarry Castle. The US Navy SEALs' original formation, the Observer Group, was also trained and influenced by British Commandos.[11] The US Special Forces originated with the First Special Service Force, formed under British Combined Operations. The First Special Service Force was a joint American-Canadian unit and modern Canadian special operations forces also trace their lineage to this unit and through it to British Commandos, despite existing in their modern incarnation only since 2006.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt was concerned about American intelligence deficiencies. On the suggestion of William Stephenson, the senior British intelligence officer in the western hemisphere, Roosevelt requested that William J. Donovan draft a plan for an intelligence service based on the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) and Special Operations Executive (SOE).
On 7 October, Hitler personally penned a note in the Wehrmacht daily communiqué:
"In future, all terror and sabotage troops of the British and their accomplices, who do not act like soldiers but rather like bandits, will be treated as such by the German troops and will be ruthlessly eliminated in battle, wherever they appear.
My whole life I thought being a Rogers made nothing but without us America wouldn’t be America that’s really trippy and crazy to know I’ve done the research and major Rogers is a direct descendent of mine
Hunk Mariner, Langdon Towne and Konkapot!
Well played, Sir! Well played indeed!
@@lancebrown3003 : oh, tx Brown! NW Passage! Tracy, et als 👍☝️
When a young Robert Rogers was making his name as a beloved hero of the frontier. Fate dealt the great man a bad hand after
getting a rogers rangers brown bess, cant wait!
On behalf of our nation but it should have said and our allies ! America’s strongest asset is it allies across the globe! United we stand !
I didn't realize they had C-130's and paratroopers before 1775. Because that's most of what's in this video.........
Shared with Ch 23 of the SFA (Special Forces Assn) - former members of SF
What the hell? I came here to learn about Rogers.
Putrid content . Try living up to to the title . Rangers fought several actions in the New York wilderness more significant than the hyped up , ineffective St. Francis raid .
Your right. Rogers Rangers were amazing wilderness fighters and to this day our Ranger Companies take much from their way of fighting and winning in wilderness combat and more.
I just want to thank you for posting these excellent videos on You tube!! With all the propaganda and indoctrination taught in public schools; history and the classics, logic and debate are put aside for training - in what?
People seem to make a big deal about the kind of fighter, the terrain they fought in, and the tactics used at that time. Rogers picked hunters, trappers, farmers and natives who grew up there. The entire forest was their supermarket. They never overate, never rode in a car or sat in a chair all day typing. They didn't eat saturated fats or pounds of refined sugar.
They worked and walked from sun up to sun down every day even when they weren't working as Rangers and the average number of miles walked by men and women alike was around 15 miles/day.
Natives at that time were known to walk for days at a time without stopping, they had amazing recuperative powers, and recovered from musket shots, hatchet and knife wounds better and faster than Europeans.
These were focused, simple men who were promised food, booze and weapons during the campaign and land if they succeeded.
Rangers Lead The Way!
michael trent ...all the way ...
"Before 1775" whole video is literally about modern SF
Does anyone really know how Badass the special forces are??
OK, Ra, Ra ,Ra, USA, USA, USA...... Team America did it better....
Where is the real history of Rogers Rangers ?
And by real, I mean his actual history.
I'd have found this much more interesting to learn about his real story. But I guess that would have shown what really happened in his life, a bit awkward to show how the USA actually treated him.
Look into Canada's York Rangers, since Roger's Ranger were British and Canada never went for the treason of the 1770's the legacy is really in the north.
@@b1laxson Any chance you have a link I could use to read about these guys?
Google's not helping, when I try to search York Rangers all the results are about the New York Rangers hockey team
Humans are more important than hardware.
Rogers Island baby! Fort Edward, New York!
French and Indian War in North America was one of several theaters in the Seven Years War (1757-63) between England and France that was truly a world war with engagements in the Caribbean, India, Southeast Asia and elsewhere.
Rangers lead the way 🇺🇸
A lot of Rangers from the French and Indian Wars wind up fighting for America in the independence War hence history shows you playing the hit-and-run tactics against the British March North and the movie The Patriot with Mel Gibson chose you clearly did Mel Gibson's character was the French and Indian War veteran and once again my Theory the correct one more fact
It’s amazing how america has adopted Rogers rangers…this isn’t American. It’s British.
I’ve said it a thousand times…. Rogers was a stinking lobster back, who help carrots capture a True Patriot Nathan Hale.
Benedict Arnold was more of an American Patriot and did more to help American earn its independence than Rogers.
They’re british? Almost like thats why they lost 😂 take the L angloid
They were the special forces of the colonial days.
Not really.
One of my favorite movies is Northwest Passage with Spencer Tracy! Can’t make those flicks anymore without making the ‘evil’ white guy the bad guy! Sad
My Grandmother spent a night with Spencer Tracy, so that makes me a descendant of Major Robert Rogers and a Ranger.
To understand the importance of the Rangers one must go back farther than Robert Rogers and look at Colonel Benjamin Church, Captain John Lovewell and Lieutenant Colonel John Gorham each man has a place in the history of American Rangers
So grateful for my 100% Patriot lineage after arrival.
Recommend US Army v Moro tribesmen. Philippine Insurection.
Robert Rogers from Methuen Massachusetts.
And never forget the Navy SEAL's rule of seven "P" s....... Proper- Prior-Planning- Prevents- Piss - Poor -Performance.
Cry Havoc Don’t 70% of their missions fail? Are my numbers wrong? Honest question.
Probably depends on what constitutes a failure but those numbers certainly dont sound accurate
Not exclusive to the Navy seals
BTW the PPPPPP comes from ........the Australian Jungle Training Centre Canungra QLD , in the late 1960's. At least do your homework and give due credit.
Rogers Ranger was British, not American.
Unfortunately they ended up fighting each other in the war of independance
Washington himself was refused a commission in the
British army during the french indian wars so he formed his own army in 1776 and became
A general!
Before there was Rogers there was BENJAMIN CHURCH
Airborne
Nothing American about this British special forces Roger's Rangers, Roger was English and fought for Britain.
Isn’t it true that 70% of Seal missions fail?
That's why they call in the SBS or SAS
What happened to Roger?
He died penniless and drunk.
Such crappy opening music. Makes me want to not watch the show.
This was a really disappointing video... i thought it was suppose to be about Rogers Rangers and their history . They were hardly mentioned.
What about America's 1st Marines the French Marines 🤔
That should have read, ‘French’.
It was british american
Please remove the LH+FW letters from the bottom left of the screen 📺 I like very much your paintings and would like to copy and hang on my family room walls. But I can’t copy with your loco there. Thank you for your kind consideration in this records.
What is it about watermarks that everyone else seems to understand but you struggle with?
The Hummus Gave Me AIDS you did not answer my question!
The Hummus Gave Me AIDS I simply would like too copy those wonderful paintings and hang them up on my wall! What are you talking about, “I got a problem.”
Lol America's Special Forces...
Rogers Rangers was a British military unit
