Talk:Robert Rogers (British Army officer)

message: Some sources incorrectly cite Robert Rogers as being born in Dunbarton, New Hampshire. He was born in Methuen, Massachusetts, and reared in Dunbarton, New Hampshire later, in his youth. --Flask 15:56, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: The misinformation actually comes from earler local and amateur historians, who often were guessing or trying to claim him for their own. He also gets confused with his father or with Stark, his second in command (a revolutionary war hero). Amazingly enough they were likely to say just about anything, which causes something of a problem today. What totally amazes me is that Rogers is still a local hero, while Arnold is a villain. I guess local citizens still have the memory of the country being saved from the Indians by Robert Rogers. Maybe the romance of the Indian fighters appeals to people, while Arnold was a regular. Rogers was a hero long before Kenneth Roberts got hold of him. Rogers has had some good post-mortem agents and a lot of press. Too bad they couldn't have paid his debts! No, seriously, Rogers' life is more of a tragedy, while Arnold mainly made his own trouble. It all depends on point of view. To the natives, Rogers and Columbus are both devils and the whole story would be written differently by them. --Dave 01:13, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello Cecy Rose. Did you paint a portrait? Good for you, if you did. The only problem is, I don't see it in your link. Am I doing something wrong? Is it actually visible there? I see an invitation to buy it! I believe Wikipedia policy is not to sell stuff on Wikipedia. I notice you don't have any user discussion and have put nothing on your user page. Anyway the link you cite is not accurate, I don't believe. Major Roberts did not wipe out St. Francis, only decimated it some. It continued to be used against the colonists. What do you think? You can leave a message on my discussion page or you can leave one here.Dave 00:54, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The article needs some copyediting in the second part, where it also misses wiki links. It could also benefit from a good reordering, and from a better subdivision in sections. GhePeU 17:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Anyone know the appropriate standard for referring to the Seven years war/French and Indian War?  I noticed that in various places both names are used for the conflict.  Since French and Indian war is a part of the Seven Years war neither is wrong, but it seems like since Rogers was only involved in the North American part of the conflict it is reasonable to use French and Indian.  Overall I think it's more important to be consistent. --Ahc (talk) 21:40, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

message: In episode 9 of season 3 of "Turn: Washington's Spies" Rogers' character states: "Now I'm just plain ol' Robbie Rogers from Massachusetts... An American, who serves his country!""Blade on the Feather" Turn: Washington's Spies, created by Craig Silverstein, performance by Angus Macfayden, season 3, episode 9, AMC, 2016 Therefore his character is not portrayed as a Scotsman, even if he looks Scottish.

message: The article currently says "James founded a settlement on  of land which he called Munterloney, after a hilly place in Derry, Ireland." See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Ireland-related_articles#Derry/Londonderry - "Use Derry for the city and County Londonderry for the county in articles." I therefore propose to reinstate the edit from 'Derry' to 'County Londonderry'. Alekksandr (talk) 21:40, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
