    A Great Book on American History
  

*by G***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 12, 2014*

Robert Rogers was a regular history lesson from some undisclosed point in American Schools up and until the late 1930’s – it’s conceivable that with the U.S. entering the Second World War in 1941 that the “Rogers” part of American History began to take a back seat to the current events of the nation (then) going forward.This book was fundamentally important not of only Robert Rogers and “Rogers Rangers” on the frontier when the American Frontier was nothing more than what we take for granted today in Ohio and Michigan from the borders of New England outward; but, it was equally important for a review of the cost of the French and Indian War (Seven Years War) a cost that the Crown would pay for heavily with the imposition of Acts. These “Acts” of course were an attempt to recoup the cost of the frontier war and to pay for its protection. Sir Winston Churchill would actually dub this war “the true First World War” in his memoirs later. When the British regulars joined the North American colonial militias and challenged French control both the war and victory would add unlimited spoils of resources and land mass to the Crown above what even they must have sensed possible for the time; but, it also came at a cost. In one sense, Robert Rogers was for the American Frontier what George Washington became for the American Revolution; and, ironically as much as these two people in history have similar qualities – luck and good connections were certainly on the side for the better for Washington than it had been for Rogers. It was apparent to me that following Ross’ account of the life of Robert Rogers, that Rogers where effective as an independent operator in the field of the frontier lacked fundamental ability to “read” the political writings on the wall at crucial points during his attempt to rise in the ranks or move toward a better financial position; none of this was important to the character of the man while he was enthralled in his warring work of the same. He had a tendency to simply ignore things that were untrue of the accusatory type upon his character; maybe by no answer at all he kept his thoughts to himself as well as his personal cards ~ to his detriment this would end up to become his character flaw that would impact him the most.I was surprised to find no reference in the bibliography of this detailed work on Rogers from the Douglas Southall Freeman’s work on the any of the 7 volume set “Washington”. The lack of inclusion perplexes me as the arrest of Rogers by Washington played a pivotal role in Rogers return to the side of the Crown during the outbreak of the American Revolution. I have read the abridged version of the Freeman work and that book alone on Washington is nearly 900 pages. There was no reference in the abridged version to Rogers; however, I anticipate that “Doc” Freeman incorporated the details on this arrest in his greater set (something for me to check into at my local library at some near point in the future). I would have liked the inclusion of more paintings of the “Dramatis Personae” that were included in the work compiled by Ross, a reference to the assassination of Chief Pontiac would have been appropriate (given the good Chief’s like for Rogers on a personal level). On the plus side of course are the maps – the maps are highly detailed and this is one book in which for the first time the Saint-François Map of 1759 has been published in which Rogers own hand writing is included on the bottom-left of the work. In addition, I considered it a special treat to have a photo included of the Powder Horn that was once owned and used by Robert Rogers.I give this book 4.5 stars out of 5 possible on the Goodreads site. The research and the story that is portrayed is important for any student of American History and at any level.
