A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Voni the time wlien Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold marched, side by ide, into the fortress at Ticonderoga, in May 1775, until the autumn of the next year, the Americans held undisputed control of Lake Champlain. Over its waters the brave and lamented MontGOMKKV led his army to the invasion of Canada; and over the same waters, in the summer of 1776, the broken fragments of that army, decimated by death and worn out by sickness and disease, returned, unmolested, to the ill-constructed and poorly supplied hospitals at Crown Point But we were not long to retain this supremacy. The possession of the lake was of vital importance to both parties. It was the Key to Canada from the South, and to New York from the North. The plan of the campaign of 1776, on the side of the English, contemplated a separate movement against Ticonderoga, and the city of New York, and the conjunction of the two armies on the banks of the Hudson at A lbany. General and Lord Howe were sent, with a large military and naval force, against New York, and Sir Guy Carletofi, with Burgoyne, Phillips, Paser, Nesbit and Reidesel under him, was placed in command of thirteen thou-; sand troops collected in Canada. During the summer, the English were actively engaged in the construction and equipment of a fleet for service upon Lake Champlain.
