RR-38 – The Eighteenth Century Collection – The Raid on St. Francis, 1759 – Roger's Rangers (2 pcs) The Raid on St. Francis remains one of the most daring and controversial operati ons of the French and Indian War. In the autumn of 1759, Major Robert Rogers led approximately 200 Rangers deep into enemy-controlled territory with orders to strike the Abenaki village of Saint-François-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud (Odanak), which British authorities believed had long served as a base for raids against frontier settlements in New England. Travelling hundreds of miles through dense forests, rivers and swamps, the Rangers relied entirely upon their skill, endurance and ability to survive in one of North America's harshest wilderness environments. After successfully carrying out the raid, Rogers and his men faced an even greater challenge. Cut off from supplies and pursued by French forces and Native warriors, they endured a desperate retreat through unforgiving wilderness. Hunger, exhaustion and exposure claimed many lives, making the return journey one of the most remarkable survival stories in military history. The raid cemented Roger's Rangers' reputation as one of the most effective irregular fighting forces of the eighteenth century, and their tactics would later influence generations of military light infantry. This exceptional two-figure set captures the rugged appearance and determined character of these famous frontiersmen. Every detail, from the practical frontier clothing and equipment to the realistic weapons and expressive poses, has been carefully sculpted to reflect historical accuracy. The expertly hand-painted finish enhances the natural textures and subtle weathering, giving each figure a lifelike presence that immediately draws the eye. At The Military Workshop, we take great pride in offering figures that tell the remarkable stories behind military history. Whether displayed alongside other Rangers or incorporated into a frontier diorama, this set beautifully honours one of the most famous special operations of the colonial era. Show more
