Journals of Robert Rogers of the Rangers
Robert Rogers - 2000
He and his troops were given a mandate “to use my best endeavours to distress the French and their allies, by sacking, burning; and destroying their houses, barns, barracks, canoes, bateaux, &c., and by killing their cattle of every kind; and at all times to endeavour to waylay, attack, and destroy their convoys of provisions by land and water, in any part of the country where I could find them." This is Rogers’ fascinating year by year account of that time. Covering the battles on snowshoes and numerous raids against the French camps it provides an insight into the ruthless guerrilla warfare of Rogers’ Rangers. Rogers’ strategy throughout the war was innovative and he explains in detail the techniques that he and his Rangers used and how he trained his men. Included in his journal is his now famous military twenty-eight point guide, the “Rules of Ranging”, which still form the basis of the “Standing Orders” taught to U.S. Army Rangers today. As well as material drawn from Rogers’ journals, the inclusion of letters provide further details on the Rangers’ role in the wider war. The Journals of Robert Rogers of the Rangers are a unique history of eighteenth century warfare that was developed during the French and Indian War. After this conflict Rogers was involved in combating Pontiac’s Rebellion and then became a royal governor. Suspected of having British sympathies he was never given command of in the Continental Army and even assisted in the capture of Nathan Hale. After struggling with money problems and alcoholism he died in debt and obscurity in London in 1795. His journals were published in England in 1765.

Mountain Rough
Kelli Callahan - 2018
Mandy: I won a trip to a beautiful resort in the Blue Ridge mountains. I thought it was going to be the perfect vacation until things took a turn for the worst. My best friend bailed on me at the last minute and the resort looked like something out of a horror movie. It definitely didn't look like the paradise I saw in the brochure. The only saving grace was Red, a rough man with a grizzled voice that set my heart on fire. He was unbelievable hot, with muscles as big as the mountain itself. He made me question my innocence and put thoughts in my head that no virgin should have. All of that happened before he leaned in and told me that he was going to claim me as his own. Red: I found solace in the Blue Ridge mountains when I returned home after having enough of the so-called real world. My family's resort was a disaster and I was determined to rebuild it. I never imagined I would end up with an unexpected guest. Her delicious curves drew me in. Her luscious lips needed to be crushed beneath mine. I didn't care if she was untouched. I didn't care if she was pure. She needed a rough man's touch and I was going to give it to her. I wasn't just going to be her first, I was going to be her last. Kelli's Note: If you're looking for insta-love and suspense, you're in the right place. My job is to make your panties melt if you forgot to leave them at the door. If that is what you're looking for, then you definitely want to dream about a Real Rough Man tonight.

Six Armies in Tennessee: The Chickamauga and Chattanooga Campaigns
Steven E. Woodworth - 1998
The Federal success along the river opened the way for advances into central and eastern Tennessee, which culminated in the bloody battle of Chickamauga and then a struggle for Chattanooga. Chickamauga is usually counted as a Confederate victory, albeit a costly one. That battle—indeed the entire campaign—is marked by muddle and blunders occasionally relieved by strokes of brilliant generalship and high courage. The campaign ended significant Confederate presence in Tennessee and left the Union poised to advance upon Atlanta and the Confederacy on the brink of defeat in the western theater.Purchase the audio edition.
