I was just sitting here in my adopted home of NC thinking about going to see family in August and the annual trip to Lake George. Since we stay in Hague, I am going to make it a point to go to the fort this year. Thank you for your dedication. Our family has some history in the area. I will bring some notes and get up with you if you are not busy then.

Went here on a field trip in 5th grade. I grew up in Bennington and got to play Ethan Allen in our little class reenactment. One of my favorite memories

If you guys are ever in Vermont, you should make a video on the Battle of Hubbardton on July 7 1777 the rear guard action that possibly saved the war for independence. Which led to the victories at Bennington and Saratoga.

Great history of Fort Ticonderoga. I knew about the connections with the French and Indian War and the Boston Campaign during the War of Independence. I was unaware of the role the fort played in the Saratoga and 1780-81 campaigns.

Great video. I love the story of Mount Defiance, the hill that overlooks the fort, and how Kosciuszko, John Trumbull, and (I think) John Stark all knew how important of a spot it was and advised St. Clair and Schuyler to put American fortifications up there, but were ignored, only for the British to immediately put their own up there upon arrival in the area, causing the Americans to have to abandon the fort almost before the battle had even begun. They also botched the retreat, leaving MUCH artillery and weapons behind for the taking. Both Schuyler and St. Clair were removed from their commands not long after.

So, it's possible to bring a warship from St Lawrence River all the way south to Ft Ticonderoga? I noticed there is a small river maybe 300 feet wide that feeds into Lake Champlain. Richelieu river?

Only the Green Mountain Boys. Arnold was inconsequential and was overwhelmed by Ethan Allen's take-charge attitude.
