Title: Mohegan Native American Unit for the French and Indian War

The Mohegans were allies of the British Colonists and supported the British war effort during the French and Indian War as scouts and skirmishers. Eventually an entire company of Mohegans was organized and became part of Roger's Rangers (Rogers hired men solely on merit and shocked regular commanders with his use of Indians and freed slaves).

Nice looking unit!

Provincial regiments also had a fair number of blacks and Indians mustered in the ranks, Massachusetts certainly did.  I'm pretty sure New York did too; the city of New Rochelle had freed all their slaves before the French War.
