Mountain Rangers
Mountain Rangers was the nickname of an Oregon militia regiment formed during the American Civil War.
A mounted unit, the Mountain Rangers were officially Company A, 1st Regiment, 1st Brigade, Oregon State Militia.
During the Civil War the State of Oregon organized militias to replace the Federal troops who had been recalled for the war.
Organized on May 18, 1863 in Ashland, the Mountain Rangers were organized as an independent military company, the only one in Southern Oregon.
The men approved a constitution and bylaws, and elected their officers and NCO's.
They agreed to buy military fatigue caps, furnish their own horses and wear grey shirts and blue overalls.
Officers wore U. S. military uniforms.
For the Fourth of July, the Mountain Rangers ordered new uniforms with matching dark blue coats and pants.
Jackson County officials rented a saloon in Ashland to serve as an armory for weapons and ammunition supplied by the state.
The Rangers were primarily a marching and social organization with many of the region's leading citizens in the ranks.
Prominent Oregon pioneer Abel Helman served as captain.
A highlight for the Oregon militiamen was the Military Ball at the Ashland Hotel on Jan. 8, 1864, in celebration of the anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans.
The Mountain Rangers are one of the best documented Oregon militia units because of the meticulous journal kept by company journalist and future captain Oliver Applegate.
The Oregon volunteer troops were demobilized beginning in 1866 when federal troops moved back into the northwest.
No longer did the citizens of Oregon nor the state legislature consider the need for a well-armed and disciplined reserve force.

Rocky Mountain Rangers (1885)
The Rocky Mountain Rangers were one of the volunteer militia units raised in Canada's North West in response to the 1885 North- West Rebellion.
It was a body of mounted irregulars, mostly cowboys and ranchers from the area around Fort Macleod( District of Alberta), the headquarters of the North- West Mounted Police( NWMP) located at the base of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, about west of Medicine Hat( in what was then the District of Assiniboia).
This unit is not to be confused with the present- day Canadian Army Reserve unit The Rocky Mountain Rangers of Kamloops, British Columbia.
Rather, it is the ultimate ancestor of the South Alberta Light Horse.
The campaign against Riel in North West Canada was put under the command of Major- General Frederick Middleton, a British- born commander of the Canadian Militia, who had seen extensive military service.
Middleton did not trust the newly formed Canadian Militia cavalry troops from Eastern Canada, as they had little experience, and had no feel for the ground on which they were to patrol.
Instead, Middleton took the advice given to him by the Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, who suggested that he recruit local troops, who would be" much more serviceable than town- bred men who compose our cavalry."
The main purpose of the RMR was to fight as a mounted cavalry against either discontented Canadian First Nations, or border- jumping American warriors.
They were to supplement patrols of the( NWMP) and provide security to the railroad construction crews.
Commanded by John Stewart, a rancher turned militia officer from the Fort Macleod area, the Rocky Mountain Rangers was a microcosm of local citizens, stockmen, trappers, politicians and discharged Mounties hammered into an irregular cavalry unit.
Stewart was directed in early March 1885 to organize" four units of Rocky Mountain Rangers".
Stewart was in immediate communication by telegraph with former military contacts back home, as he was visiting family in Ottawa when news of the Metis uprising reached him.
He quickly began the task of organizing the units.
There were 114 members led by Major Stewart.
The members were to supply their own mounts, tack and sidearms but since this last resulted in a variety of questionable weapons, Major Stewart arranged for the issuance of some NWMP rifles including a few of the obsolete single shot Snider – Enfield .577 and forty of the new 1876. 45 -75 Winchesters.
Number 3 Troop of the RMR remained in the Fort Macleod area as a home guard, but Number 1 and 2 Troops were sent to Medicine Hat, a very strategic point where the newly built Canadian Pacific Railway bridges the South Saskatchewan River – the largest physical obstacle on its entire route between Winnipeg and the Rocky Mountains.
Seizure or destruction of the bridge at that point would have played havoc with continued effective use of the railway, which was of immense help in transporting men, equipment and supplies.
The Rocky Mountain Rangers' main task was to patrol the region of Southern Alberta and Saskatchewan, in the Cypress Hills region.
As events unfolded quite rapidly in the North- West Rebellion near Batoche and Duck Lake, Saskatchewan, a fair distance north of the Cypress Hills, it soon became apparent that the Rangers were not going to be directly involved in that fighting.
Still, there were a couple of incidents in which the Rangers took action.
The first was on 19 May 1885, when a cattle herder was attacked by First Nations and Métis warriors, and the second was in early June when a patrol near the Cypress Hills came under attack.
So, while not directly involved in the main fighting in Saskatchewan, the Rangers were always aware that trouble could have developed farther south, and the presence of the Rangers helped keep the peace and provide assurance to the local settlers.
The 1885 Rocky Mountain Rangers were disbanded on 17 July that year.
There was probably much disappointment among the troops at the disbanding of the corps.
However, Captain Stewart was able to obtain the North West Canada Medal and the Rebellion scrip.
The scrip entitled any Ranger who applied for it either$ 80 or of land.
As the ultimate ancestor of the South Alberta Light Horse, the battle honour" North West Canada, 1885", is borne on the guidon of the South Alberta Light Horse due to the participation of the Rocky Mountain Rangers in this period of Canada's history.
