The Battle on Snowshoes by Bob Bearor

A new history of this famous event, as told by an experienced Adirondack hunting guide and re-enactor who trekked over the sites in period clothing and equipment, made countless camps throughout the hills, searched out travel routes, and tried to substantiate the times and conditions recorded in contemporary journal entries in order to separate fact from fiction. He also describes events leading up to the battle and provides biographical information about the two charismatic leaders, Rogers and Langis. While accounts of Rogers' exploits are numerous, here we finally learn more about Langis, the real hero of this contest.
