Roger's Rangers are remembered in history for their attack
on the St. Francis indians. The movie "Northwest Passage"
starring Spencer Tracy is entertaining for the non-Abenaki
but far from accurate. Rogers himself, wrote in his journals,
many exaggerations of this horrific event on Oct. 4, 1759.
Interesting facts can be found in Marge Bruchac's writings.
