THE RAID ON St. FRANCIS 1759
ROGER'S RANGERS

RR-04     Captain William Stark and Sergeant Beaubien  (2pcs)     US$48

Captain William Stark,
was the elder brother of Captain John Stark
(who was to become one of the outstanding Major Generals in the American Revolution).

William Stark apparently found the dog
while on a hunting trip north.
A French officer was beating the dog and Stark intervened.
A fierce duel ensued between the French officer and Stark,
which was won by the ranger.
The dog gladly attached himself to his new champion.

Stark was to call him Sergeant Beau de Bien
but other Rangers were to shorten it to "Beaubien".

At one point throughout their history,
Stark entered the wolf/dog into the official Ranger muster roll
to draw a Sergeant's rations and pay.
Therefore he became known simply as "The Sergeant" .

It has been said that Sergeant Beaubien scared off his share of the enemy,
and was well deserving of his pay.
It was also reported that he lived to a ripe old age.
