Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
250 years ago, the French and Indian War was raging in North America.
During the conflict, Robert Rogers of Dunbarton emerged as the leader of Rogers' Rangers, a company of colonial troops who developed the style of warfare practiced today by America's Special Forces.
In conjunction with the PBS broadcast of "The War that Made America", Outlook's Richard Ager takes a closer look at Robert Rogers and his Rangers.

One last note on Robert Rogers.
He was portrayed by Spencer Tracy in the 19-40 film "Northwest Passage."
script iconIntro War Conv
Return to index of stories...
It was the war "before" the American Revolution.
In Europe they called it the "Seven years' war" -- here in North America it was known as "the French and Indian War"--- A protracted conflict over trade and land.
A multi-year celebration of the 250th anniversary is underway and will continue thru 2010.
Here to talk about the War, Rogers' Rangers and NH's role in both:
Stuart Wallace, Associate Professor of History at New Hampshire Technical Institute --and, David Starbuck, Associate Professor of Anthropology & Sociology at Plymouth State University as well as the author of the book "Rangers & Redcoats on the Hudson.
Welcome to both of you.
Q PROF WALLACE: Why is it so little attention is focused on the French and Indian War?
Q PROF STARBUCK: What was the SIGNIFICANCE of the French and Indian War?
Q It wasn't the FRENCH fighting the Indians.but rather 2 empires fighting for territory. A bit of a MISNOMER -- "French & Indian War".
Q In the PBS Series " The WAR that Made America" a young George Washington
is portrayed as the man -- -whose RASH actions touch off the French and Indian War.
ACCURATE depiction.
** Most of us aren't familiar with Washington's early battle DEFEATS.
Q PROF WALLACE: We speak English not French -- so we know Britain was the victor. Safe to say the INDIANS were the biggest losers.
Q PROF STARBUCK: Soldiers from NH would travel to Fort Edward NY -- an important military base during French & Indian War.
You've spent a lot of time there on Archeological digs.what have you found?
==============
Q Robert Rogers -a troubling Hero.
He grew up in southern NH -- an area of murderous INDIAN RAIDS.
RECRUITED by Britain to FIGHT the war.
** Easy for the British to find Colonial Farmers willing to pick up arms and fight?
** What role would you say NH played in the French & Indian War??
Q No one really talks about Rogers anymore? NH reluctant to CLAIM him.
** He fought against American patriots in the Revolution.
Q A dif story for his trusted LT who became one of America's best Officers during the Revolution Name everywhere in NH --
Q Even though the RANGERS largely won the war for the British -- they treated the Rangers poorly -- didn't like their way of fighting ???
Q When Britan imposed new TAXES on Colonists to PAY for the war there was PROTEST. In 1775 former members of Rogers Rangers fired upon British at Concord & Lexington.
Q Rogers RETURNED to America to Join the Revolution when it started. Geroge Washington refused his offers of help: "Only man I was ever afraid of".
This So Enraged ROGERS -- he joined British and fought AGAINST Americans.
LEGACY lives on in his RANGERS code.
Is there a link between Rogers Rangers and Merrill's Marauders in World War-2?
Are you hopeful the PBS series "The War that Made America" and the
celebrations and re-enactments for the 250th Anniversary of the conflict.
will help re-ignite INTEREST in this period of history and the role it played??

Q PBS calls the French and Indian War.the PREQUEL to the American Revolution.
Q when small bands of American frontiersmen learned to wreak havoc on larger forces. From Rogers' Rangers in the French and Indian Wars and Merrill's Marauders in World II, to more contemporary exploits in Desert Storm and Afghanistan, every Ranger knows his place in history.
It was not until World War II that special operations troops finally left their unstoried peripheries and came into their own. In quick succession the public soon would come to know the names of such units as the Devil's Brigade, Darby's Rangers, Merrill's Marauders and the Alamo Scouts. During World War II, Darby's Rangers and Merrill's Marauders

MONDAY, JANUARY 23
Rogers’ Rangers and The War That Made America
Two hundred and fifty years ago, the French and Indian War was raging in North America. During the conflict, Robert Rogers of Dunbarton emerged as the leader of Roger’s Rangers, a company of colonial troops who developed the style of warfare practiced today by America’s Special Forces. In conjunction with the PBS broadcast of The War that Made America, Outlook’s Richard Ager takes a closer look at Robert Rogers.
Scheduled guests:
David Starbuck, Associate Professor of Anthropology/Sociology at Plymouth State University. He’s the archeologist to the Saratoga National Historic Site and author of a new book about his archeological dig on Rogers' Island entitled "Rangers and Redcoats on the Hudson."
Stuart Wallace, Associate Professor of History, New Hampshire Technical Institute.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 24
Abortion and Parental Notification
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that a lower court was wrong in striking down a New Hampshire abortion law that calls for girls under 18 to notify a parent before getting an abortion. The high court avoided a major ruling by calling for an appeals court to reconsider the law. Groups on both sides of the fight see partial victories in Wednesday’s decision. In this program, we look at the decision and find out what’s next.
Scheduled guests: Attorney General Kelly Ayotte; Claire Ebel, Executive Director of the NH Civil Liberties Union; Phyllis Woods, former Dover legislator and original sponsor of the legislation; and Professor Albert “Buzz” Scherr, Franklin Pierce Law Center.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25
Return of the Guard
The NH Army National Guard combat support unit is back in New Hampshire after a year’s deployment in Iraq. The 1159th Medical Company was mobilized in December 2004 and deployed to the Middle East. The air ambulance unit based in Concord performed medical evacuation missions in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. A freelance producer from Massachusetts traveled to Iraq and had a chance to see the Guard members in action. In this program, we’ll see excerpts of Doug Grindle’s video and we’ll meet some of the Guard members who’ve been back now for almost a month.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 26
NORTH COUNTRY ECONOMY
The recent announcement that Groveton Paperboard would shut down came as a shock to its 108 workers, but it is an all too familiar development in the North Country. The region’s economy has long relied on its natural resources -- in particular forest products -- and the closure has renewed calls for diversification of its business base. Outlook’s Richard Ager visited Groveton to see what is being done for the workers, and what initiatives might make for a more stable economic base for the area.
