Amidst the French & Indian War in 1759, Robert Rogers and 140 men set out to attack the village of Saint Francis on the shores of the Saint Lawrence River. They were America's first special forces, a uniquely trained light infantry unit specializing in unconventional warfare. The assault on Saint Francis and subsequent retreat quickly became the stuff of legend however. With French pursuit close behind and combatting weather, starvation and cannibalism, their travails would call into action all of their training as the original Army Rangers. As written down by Rogers himself, the 28 "Rules of Ranging" are still used by the US Army today. In 2017, author Sam Brakeley set out to follow in their path, retracing one of America's first secret expeditions. While easily evading starvation and cannibalism, he discovers that the 21st century nevertheless brings its own set of challenges. Amidst the whitewater and portages, he examines just where life might be taking him and we find that time on the river is always exhilarating. Combining 18th and 21st century adventures, Sam Brakeley vividly recreates Rogers' expedition to Quebec and back while telling his own modern-day saga. With humor, warmth and compassion, he reminds us that by connecting with the past we can more fully experience the present.
