Definition

  • Rangers have stamped American society and its military traditions with a force disproportionate to their numbers. Whether serving on colonies’ or states’ formal defensive establishments or in ad hoc companies of frontiersmen drawn from local militias, Rangers were ubiquitous in the military affairs of the colonial and early national periods.
