=== Siege of Louisbourg === Four companies of Rogers Rangers (500 rangers) arrived on the provincial vessel ''King George'' and were at [[Dartmouth, Nova Scotia]] from April 8 until May 28, awaiting the [[Siege of Louisbourg (1758)]]. While there, they scoured the woods to stop raids on the capital. During the Siege, the rangers were the first to go ashore at Freshwater Cover and encountered 100 Mi'kmaq and French soldiers. <!---following sentence makes no sense: The Regiments of Ensign Carruthers was killed.---> [[James Wolfe]] and Scott followed up the rangers. The Rangers killed and scalped the Chief Mi'kmaq. In their retreat, the rangers captured 70 defenders and killed more than 50. Historian Burt Loescher describes this as "one of the most admirable feats ever performed by a detachment of the Corps."<ref>{{cite book |last=Loescher |first=Burt Garfield |title=The History of Rogers' Rangers: The First Green Berets |date=1969 |location=San Mateo, California |url=https://archive.org/details/historyofrogersr02loes |pages=[https://archive.org/details/historyofrogersr02loes/page/29 29]β31}}</ref>
