He was a young ranger with Major Robert Roger's Rangers, the forbearer of today's Army Rangers.  He tells in his own words, circa 1760, how he was involved in an epic and brutal firefight while wearing snowshoes in the middle of upstate New York's frontier wilderness, only to be captured and taken captive.  He witnessed some awful things, and eventually escaped, only to be captured again.  How did he finally get away?
