| Summary | "Rogers' Rock, Lake George, March 13, 1758: A Battle Fought on Snow Shoes" by Mary Cochrane Rogers is a historical account published in the early 20th century that delves into a significant event during the French and Indian War. The narrative focuses on Major Robert Rogers, who leads his Rangers into a fateful battle against superior French and Indian forces in the harsh winter landscape of Lake George. The text intricately explores themes of bravery, tragedy, and the challenges of warfare during this tumultuous period in North American history. At the start of the account, the scene is set with the American wilderness blanketed in snow, as Major Rogers and his company prepare for a covert mission to confront the French forces at Ticonderoga. The narrative details the rigorous journey taken by Rogers and his men, including their use of snowshoes and skates to traverse the icy terrain. The opening portion culminates in a tense ambush, where the Rangers initially succeed in inflicting damage on the enemy but ultimately face overwhelming odds, leading to a desperate retreat and significant losses. The struggle is not only a military engagement but also a testament to the resilience and fortitude of the men involved, particularly with Rogers' harrowing escape from capture amid the chaos of battle.
