Queen's Rangers
The Queen's Rangers (''alias'' Queen's American Rangers) was a military unit that fought on the Loyalist side during the American War of Independence. After the war they moved to Nova Scotia (present-day Saint John, New Brunswick) and disbanded, but were reformed again in Upper Canada before disbanding again, in 1802, a decade prior to the War of 1812. They filled the role of what became called partisan hunters in the 20th Century.
==French and Indian War==
The origins of the Queen's Rangers lay in the French and Indian War (1756–1763), during which France and Great Britain fought for territories in the New World. At first, French-Canadian habitants and their Indian allies were quite effective by employing guerrilla tactics against the British regulars. To counter the French tactics, Robert Rogers raised companies of New England frontiersmen for the British and trained them in woodcraft, scouting, and irregular warfare, sending them on raids along the frontiers of French Canada as Rogers' Rangers. The Rangers soon gained a considerable reputation, particularly in the campaigning in upstate New York around Fort Ticonderoga and Lake Champlain. They also launched a long-range raid to destroy Indian allies in the St. Lawrence valley, gained the first lodgement in the amphibious landings on Cape Breton to capture Louisbourg, and took the surrender of the French outposts in the Upper Great Lakes at the conclusion of the war.
