@@AlejandroGermanRodriguez Rangers leave by boat to attack Indian camp/ Airborne troops leave by plane to attack Japanese RADAR camp.

The Real Major Robert Rogers (1731-1795), was born in Methuen, Massachusetts in 1731 and raised in New Hamphire (Great Meadow District), and was an American colonial frontiersman. He served in a British Army during both the French & Indian War (1754-1763), became the stuff of legend and the American Revolution (1776-1777) Years of Service 1746-1748 in New Hampshire Militia - 1754-1777 in French & indian War and 1776-1777 American Revolutionary War. Circa 1780 he was arrested and spent some time in prison in New York, escaping in 1782. In 1783 he was evacuated with other British troops to England, there unable to earn a living or to defeat his alcoholism. He died in obscurity and debt, what little money had going to pay an arrears in rent. He was buried in Londonbut his gravesite has been lost.

He was a British hero... NOT American... He lived out his life as a loyal British subject.... As he did his entire life... For King and country. Rogers was against American independence.
@@mountainfolks Rogers waffled back and forth on American colonial independence, finally deciding on remaining loyal to Great Britain after Washington refused him a posting in the Continental Army.
@@701CPD Where is it recorded LIAR. Rogers wanted to fight Americans... he begged the King for the chance to fight Americans to defend the crown... PERIOD. YOU ARE A LIAR. Educate yourself LIAR. So sick of losers making up lies.
'YO RANGERS..., Rogers' Rangers! Hello, my fellow friends of Northwest Passage, Does anyone know if there is a Director's cut or out-takes, or props, etc., from Northwest Passage?

The real Sir William Johnson most likely spoke with an Irish accent. He came from an Irish Catholic family, so portraying him as an Englishman was slightly inaccurate. This is an outstanding film nevertheless.
Not likely because Johnson supposedly came from a reasonably well-to-do Irish family who probably spoke more like Englishmen than Irishmen, feigning English accents to achieve acceptance and success
@@cammacgregor9354 Still British... remember the time period... Robert was born to Robert Rogers, Sr. (1738-1816) and Mary Titcomb (1742-1827) of Newbury. His mother Mary's father was Col. Moses Titcomb who died on Sep. 8, 1755 at Lake George, New York in French and Indian War. Also buried in this cemetery is his mother's second cousin, Gen. Jonathan Titcomb. Robert, Jr. was first married to Sarah Somerby on June 20, 1784. Sarah is thought to be the daughter of John Somerby and Sarah Cook of Newburyport. Robert and Sarah Somerby had nine children before her death in 1805. After Sarah's death, Robert married Mrs. Sarah "Sally" Coffin on Jan. 1, 1807. Sally and Robert had three children. Moses Rogers, Benaiah Rogers, and Mary Rogers are brothers and a sister of Robert that are known to be buried in this cemetery. Capt. Benjamin Rogers is a cousin that is also buried in this cemetery. Robert died in Newburyport in 1811. His second wife, Sally, survived him by 37 years, dying in 1848. Robert and both wives are buried together in this Old Hill Burying Ground cemetery.
One of the best movies of all time!
JMAZZ80 ..fuck ya
YES!!
Agreed - a great film!
Terrific kick ass film! Highly recommended. And the color!

Spencer Tracy was the ideal person to play Major Robert Rogers, a true leader of the Rangers who had faith in each and every man under his command.
Most of which, the men, were fodder. Wiped out whilst Rogers his self obliged the foe with retreat.
Great movie with a great cast.As usual Walter Brennan steals all of his scenes.
I think you mean "Stumpy"
loved this classic movie,saw it on turner classic movie channel few times

It is interesting to note that the film 'Objective Burma!' follows the very same plot line.
I don´t think "the very same". I feel quite different.

Those fringe green tunics were also historically inaccurate lol
Sir William Johnson couldn't have been a Roman Catholic and been in the British Army at this time. Episcopalian, Presbyterian, etc but never R C.

Jesus, if they got rid of "Gone With the Wind" what are they going to do when they get a hold of this baby?
We'll get rid of "them" first :-)
I searched for a trace of his grave but the area has been too much changed; I found no trace.
Poor Pocahontas has suffered the same fate.
The grave and even the grave yard is gone, there's just a park left now with a few stones, but RR's is not there :(
this guy had no compass or gps good skill to learn
