Robert Rogers (Major), The Annotated and Illustrated Journals of |
|||
| by Timothy J. Todish and illustrated by Gary Zaboly | $29.00 | ||
Major Robert Rogers of the Rangers is not only one of the most famous
men to come out of Colonial America, he is also one of the most fascinating.
This book, reprinted from the rare 1769 Dublin edition of hie Journals,
allows the major to tell portions of his life in his own words. To
supplement his accounts, numerous annotations have been added by Timothy
Todish to give a broader picture of the events described. Most are
from eyewitnesses, or at least contemporaries of Rogers. Later secondary
sources are used sparingly. Occasionally an annotation, or series
of annotations, are used to present tyhe background for the action.
Gary Zaboly's wonderful original illustrations, along with his well-written
captions, add an invaluable dimension to this edition. They also fill
in some gaps in his life that are not specifically covered in the
text of the Journals. 341 pp., 2002, paperback, illustrated, $29.00.
