The 1st American Regiment was originally raised during the Seven Years' War by Robert Rogers and were better known as Rogers' Rangers. They were re-raised by Rogers in 1776 as "Queen's Rangers" to battle the rebellious American colonists. Rogers was replaced as the unit's commander by John Graves Simcoe in 1777 with the Rangers consisting of 11 companies, 8 line companies, and a grenadier, light, and Highland company as well as one squadron of hussars and 3 squadrons of light dragoons and a cannon. The Rangers retained their green uniform when other Loyalist forces changed to the red coats of British regulars. They served in various battles until the capitulation at Yorktown where they were disbanded. [1]. Simcoe reformed the Rangers in 1791 until their disbandment in 1802.
