Like so many innovations, they were born out of dire necessity. Britain was suffering defeat after defeat trying to use conventional tactics on the wild frontier. What worked on the plains of Europe, instead caused massacres when applied to the endless forests and lakes of North America. Robert Rogers, a soon to be legendary frontiersmen, had the solution: the Redcoats and colonial militia must learn to fight like Native Americans.  He would form the rangers, a motley band of bushrangers, frontiersmen and Indian fighters; who would take on the French and their Indian allies at their own game. They would become lethal shadows of the forest, earning French fear and Indian respect. #history #militaryhistory #war #america #history #historynerd Hosted on Acast.
