I have read the articles Lindil, excellent detail and scope laid out by MM, plenty of stuff to ponder, yet even he admits that there is still areas of mystery surounding the Northern Dunedain. For sure though, their military contribution towards victory in the Wars Of The Ring was far greater than the 30 or so Rangers who fought so well with Aragorn.
I like MM's postulation that many more Rangers were fighting to the last man against orcs, goblins and wargs trying to invade from the foothills of the Misty Mountains, just North East of Rivendell. It gives deserved recognition far more befitting of such a noble race of people.
