This stone cairn marks the graves of two Rogers' Rangers who died during the French and Indian War. Their gruesome deaths were recorded in the diary of Lieutenant George Campbell: "(Sergeant) Lewis had told me that his party had shot a Moose near a River but it disappear'd in ye woods & they were to weak to track it, except 3 rangers who came upon ye Moose being attack'd by wolves who turn'd on ye 3 Rangers & kill'd one of them & mortally wd. Ye other 2 who crawled to Lewis where they died."Loescher, Burt G.: The History of Rogers' Rangers: The St. Francis Raid (Maryland, 202) p. 60. "Text printed with permission of Heritage Books, Inc."

I Saw The Marker
Found the marker and gravesite. Nice old wooden fence around it. Marker had some chips from people who had shot at it. Very interesting site.
