The Pennsylvania Company...
....of His Majesty's Independent Companies
of Rogers Rangers - Jaeger's Battalion is a colonial/French & Indian War era historical reenactment group primarily located
in Western Pennsylvania. We were founded in November 2000 and are affiliated with Jaeger's Battalion, a national,
historical reenactment group headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which serves as our higher headquarters. Our Battalion
traces it's own history back to 1956, and is the largest group in the country recreating the units of Rogers' Rangers.
The
primary purpose and focus of our group is the accurate recreation of a company of Rogers' Rangers of the French & Indian
War era.
Our members have a combined total of over 270 years experience in historical reenactment and living history,
primarily in the French & Indian War, Revolutionary War and Civil War time periods. Our members are from New York,
New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, as well as Pennsylvania. Two of our Rangers served with the modern U.S.
Army Rangers, (75th Infantry Regiment), and most of our Rangers are either currently Active Army, Army National Guard or
U.S. Army Reserve members. We are a family oriented unit, with spouses and children welcome and encouraged.
If you
have an interest in this fascinating period of America's history and desire to become a member, then we invite you to review
our website and contact us. We are always open to new membership - all we ask is that what time you spend in this hobby
you spend well, bringing honor to the Company and the Battalion. SUA SPONTE!
