ROGERS, S . 457
panied the
relief
  expedition under James Dalyell to
Detroit
  and took
part
  in the battle of Bloody
Bridge
  on the 31st of July (see PONTIAC). Soon after this he went to England, and in 1765 published in London a Concise Account of North. America, containing a Description of the Several British Colonies . . . also an Account of the Several Nations and Tribes of Indians (new edition, Albany, 1883). In 1766-68 he was commandant of Michilimackinac. He spent the next few years in England, and after 1772 was in the service of the dey of Algiers. At the beginning of the War of Independence he returned to America, and in spite of his protestations of patriotism was considered by Washington and others a Loyalist spy. He was arrested by agents of Congress, but was paroled. His re-arrest he considered a release from his
parole
 . He then openly joined the British, and under a commission from General
Howe
  organized a
regiment
  of Loyalists which was known as the Queen's Rangers, and which after his return to England in 1776 was commanded by Capt. John G. Simcoe. In 1779 he was commissioned to raise a
regiment
  to be called the King's Rangers, and he returned for a short time to America; but the command of the Rangers, which soon became a
part
  of the garrison of St John's,
Quebec
 , was taken by his brother James (d. 1792), who had formerly served under Robert. Rogers died in London probably in 1784.
In addition to the Concise Account of North America, he published his
Journals
  (London, 1765), and is supposed to have written, at least in part, Ponteach, or the Savages of America, a Tragedy (London, 1766). See also his "
Journal
  " in the Diary of the Siege of
Detroit
  in the War with Pontiac (Albany, 186o; new edition, 1883), edited by F. B. Hough; and Francis Parkman, Montcalm and Wolfe (2 vols., Boston, 1884).
