Being a bit of an iconoclast when it comes to Rangers I always like it when someone finds some derogatory statements about their service. My favourite in this article by R Chartrand shows Amherst didn't think much of them:
Gen. J. Amherst to H. Bouquet, New York, 31 August 1763 "...And I approve of your having Ordered the Rangers to be discharged for I have a very low opinion of them..."
American warfare 1690-1835 in popular culture, art, in miniature and in wargames, through Living History and in movies.
