Major Robert Rogers and 180 picked men set out to scout Fort Carillon on March 10th 1758. Travelling by skates and snowshoes, Rogers and his men followed Lake George towards this French fort. A combined force of Native warriors and French soldiers met and overwhelmed Rogers’ Rangers in the Battle on Snowshoes, March 13th 1758. See some of Robert Rogers own words describing this battle.
