Knowlton's Rangers, formed in September 1776, was the first official reconnaissance unit of the United States. Arranged in diary format, this is not your typical history book. It does not summarize, but instead allows the men to speak for themselves. Filled with extensive transcriptions of the letters, diaries, memoirs, newspaper reports and pension applications of the men of that unit and those that fought alongside them, it transports you to a poignant description of their experiences.
