The two companies
of Rogers Rangers each fired a devastating volley at the French Milice de
Quebec 3/8 compagnie. The French picket had enough of the Rangers lead and routed
heading toward the fort. The French batteries on the Southwest and West Walls of
the Entrenched Camp fired two 6pd’s Cannon and a 2pd to cover the defeated
Picket. French 6pd cannon on the SW Bastion killed two Rangers when a shot
skipped thru the Rangers ranks, also taking one arm and two legs with it. The
Indians were not the only ones who took scalps in this war; the Rangers were also
seen taking the scalps of the fallen French troops…
