Oldton's Company of Baltemore Rangers

No... it's not a picture of a Great Northern War Russian dragoon...it's a 1690s Colonial Ranger on the lookout for Indian warparties that might be raiding the locality.
You may think Rangers were something to do with Robert Rogers but this group covering the 1690s prove otherwise.

I know that late 17th century reenacting is growing in the Americas...be nice to see some French Marines for the 1690s... I know there are a good number of Native reenactors interested in this period - it certainly has a lot of potential.
