Written By Heather Rogers, America's Preeminent Presidential Doodler

  • Born in Massachusetts, which surprised me given his Scottish accent in Turn

  • French and Indian War vet

  • Wrote the very listicle-sounding Robert Rogers’ 28 Rules of Ranging, kind of a guerrilla warfare how-to guide

  • Hand-picked the members of Rogers’ Ranger Company

  • Accused of and arrested for treason by both sides during the war

  • Wore Native American clothes to avoid getting caught while getting around… ? Or maybe not. Honestly, it’s hard to find info on this guy!

  • Died in England

Heather isn’t a historian, an academic, or an impartial storyteller… but she has read more than one book about every U.S. president. Out of spite. She was dubbed America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler by one of her favorite authors and she’s been repeating it ever since. When she’s not reading or doodling history books, she’s a freelance graphic designer and illustrator.
