More DescriptionThe 1780's Ohio-Kentucky-Pennsylvania FrontierThey were the elite-the Delta Force of the 1780's Frontier, battling the Indian Nations, who were being supplied by the British, trying to stem the flood of settlers into the Ohio Country. These were the United States original Rangers. Their mission was to take on the Indian raiders, fight them frontier fashion. They would track down and strike without warning, any raiding parties connected with attacks on far-flung cabins and settlements in the territory. These dauntless Rangers rescued many children, women and men taken captive by the Indians. Modeled after the famed Roger's Rangers of the French and Indian War, they would live off the land, venture into hostile territory. More often than not, fight the raiders hand-to-hand to rescue the captives and property stolen by the enemy. The exploits of Sam Brady inspired James Fennimore Cooper years later as he created his fictional character, Hawkeye, after Brady.
