Priceless treasure seized almost two centuries ago in a famed Indian Raid by Rogers' Rangers, still may lie buried in northern Vermont & New Hampshire.
Here is one version of what occurred in that incredible raid & retreat of 1759.
People listed:
~Major Robert Rogers, at the head of a band of colonial Rangers
~Kenneth Robert's stirring novel: "Northwest Passage". ~General Amherst
~Benjamin Bradley was one of the stoutest men of his time per Rev. Nich. Bouton, in his "History of Concord, N.H.
~Robert Pomeroy, a Ranger, and eight other rangers
~Lt. Stevens It is at the mouth of the Passumpsic, at Barnet, Vt., that the cowardly, Lt. Stevens came with provisions by canoe to meet the starving Rangers, but fled even as they approached, imagining they were the enemy.
