Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast
Shane mentioned the title in three episodes, noting that it was a very dry, detailed, and factual account that focused on logistics and pre‑revolutionary life, which made it less engaging than the more enjoyable book they discussed as a contrast. He highlighted its thoroughness on Robert Rogers and some balanced observations about Native Americans, but overall presented it as more of a reference than a compelling read.

Episode: Ep 300-Emergency Teenis
The book is about Robert Rogers and life pre-revolution in America. The author was critical of Native Americans in previous podcast episodes, but found some good things about them in this book.
I was listening to that book again. First off, the book book is Oh yeah. A lot of people were asking. It's called War on the Run. It's about Robert Rogers. And but it's also about like just life pre revolution in America, and like Native Americans and shit.
And I have been harsh on the natives. Last couple episodes. That's what happens when you report on something before you finish a book trail. Like I read one chapter that was just like this is what the Indians used to do. And then the next chapter was like, they did have some good things, but I only got the bad part.
And I was like, they were called savages for a reason. But no, they had some dude hilarious. This was making me laugh.
