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.

| Intro 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?? |
