[39] [There was one regular regiment of American origin with Wolfe,
the “Royal Americans,” represented by their second and third
battalions. One battalion was left to guard the landing. The
superior officers of this regiment were English. There seem to
have been also some provincial rangers, although the famous
Robert Rogers was not present.--EDITOR.]
