: A short article of interest about the Marquis de Montcalm:

: http://www.cbc.ca/cgi-bin/view?/news/2001/10/12/montcalm011012

: (Notice mention of one "Horace Dresser from Woodstock, Vermont". That is actually long-time reenactor Horst Dresler, who heads up James Rogers' Coy. of Rogers' Rangers; James was Robert Rogers' older brother -- FYI the youngest brother, Richard, died of smallpox at Fort William Henry two weeks before Col. Monro surrendered to Montcalm, and Richard's body was dug up and possibly eaten by the Indians when they raided the fort. The Rogers' family had their revenge by the Indians' catching and spreading the smallpox.)
