Mystery Quote

Rogers standing order #2:
"Have your musket clean as a whistle, hatchet scoured, sixty rounds of powder and ball, and be ready to march at a moments notice."

Found it in a sig on a board I'm not a member of and have no with to be.....anyone know who Rogers is?

I'm sure this will be one of those times its someone I should know of, but at this point....I don't.

Love the quote though.

It's attributed to the Maj. Robert Rogers, but in reality it's a fictional quote from a book about Rogers, Northwest Passage publishedin 1937.
