The Revolution

Via Survival


Fort Ticonderoga

"No one can say when or where the first war for the Revolution began. Ten years before the fight at Lexington, Americans came out of their cabins in the valley of the Conocheague, and stormed and took Fort Louden. One by one, Americans walked the trails of the Green Mountains, and came down to the lake and took the King's fort at Ticonderoga".
-- Rose Wilder Lane (Daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder, and originator of the term Libertarian.)

    Growing up in Northern New England I visited Fort Ticonderoga several times over the years and it was impressive. As a young child I was locked into a cell in the lower levels while on a tour and was not sure my parents were really going to come back for me. Yeah I was a rambunctious young lad...

    :) By the way, I could not find Fort Louden, only Fort Loudon. Any info?
