Sinossi
Excerpt from History of the Queen's Rangers
Prior to this, however, and while the American army still occupied the strong position on the heights west of the Bronx on the night of the 21st October, 1776, the Queen's Rangers under Colonel Rogers were lying at Mamaronec on Long Island Sound, a few miles to the north of New Rochelle. Here they were surprised by a force of Delaware and Maryland troops under Colonel Haslet, and a number of them killed or captured. The Americans claim that the Rangers on this occasion lost almost eighty men and sixty stand of arms, but very little reliance is to be placed on American accounts of the losses of their enemies in the war of the Revolution. In the action at Spencer's Ordinary in which the Rangers were engaged in 1781, the Americans returned a British loss of 60 killed and 100 wounded, the actual loss as shown by the official re turns being 33 killed and wounded. We may conclude, therefore, that the loss of the Rangers at Mamaronec was probably much exaggerated. I have not been able to discover any British account of this affair, which in the presence of the larger operations which Howe was carrying on would hardly be regarded as worthy of notice.
