BOOK - An Annotated Roll of Butler's Rangers 1777- 1784
With Documentary Sources.
Compiled and Arranged by
Lieutenant Colonel William A. Smy, OMM, CD, UE
Historical Overview:
The Corps of Rangers commanded by Lieutenant Colonel John Butler was raised in 1777 and served until the general reduction of the British Army in North America in 1784.
The Rangers were headquartered at Fort Niagara, first living in garrison, and then in barracks on the west side of the Niagara River.
While the Corps fought as a major unit at Wyoming, Cherry Valley, Chemung, on Sir John Johnson's and Major John Ross's raids, most of the expeditions were mounted by company or company plus sized units. A key factor in the successes of the Rangers was the close co-operation of the various Indian nations with which it served. The Corps fought in what is now New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Kentucky and Michigan. It has been described by military historians as the most active and successful Provincial Corps in the Northern Command during the Revolution.
