It describes Rogers' expeditions with the New England Rangers under his command. The Rangers, comprised primarily of New Hampshire men, constituted England's best defense against the Indians who had allied with France as she and England struggled to establish possesion of America. Duties of the Rangers included spying, ambushing, taking prisoners; and fighting and killing lndians to clear the way for England's regular troops. The Rangers were officered by hardy, intelligent men, many of whom would go on to distinguished careers in the Revolutionary War. Major General John Stark of New Hampshire served as an officer in the Rangers and is considered a hero of the American Revolution. The Memoir is composed of biographical material, letters, and notices, providing the reader with a personal look at Stark's life and military career, his strong patriotism and belief in the Revolutionary War.
