The Journals of Major Robert Rogers & an Historical Account of the Expedition Against the Ohio Indians in the Year 1764 Under the Command of Henry

Originally published in 1765, these journals were written by Major Robert Rogers to document his military service and strategic maneuvers during the French and Indian War and the subsequent Pontiac's Rebellion. Rogers, a prominent colonial frontiersman and the founder of Rogers' Rangers, penned these accounts to justify his military actions and offer a firsthand perspective on the complex diplomacy and combat tactics utilized against Indigenous groups in the Great Lakes region.

The 1997 Dresslar Publishing edition serves as a modern facsimile of these primary historical documents, ensuring that scholars and enthusiasts have access to the original text. The design maintains the archaic prose and structure of the 18th-century manuscript, reflecting a time when colonial military reports were often published to secure public favor or defend a commander's reputation against political criticism. It remains a foundational text for understanding mid-18th-century North American borderland conflicts.
