251
years ago today (May 10, 1775) The Green Mountain Boys, under the Command of
Ethan Allen and accompanied by Connecticut Soldier Benedict Arnold, crossed
Lake Champlain and captured Fort Ticonderoga in New York from the British.
The
cannons and other armaments at Fort Ticonderoga were later transported to
Boston by Colonel Henry Knox in the noble train of artillery and used to
fortify Dorchester Heights and break the standoff at the siege of Boston from
the British.
I
have loved going to Fort Ticonderoga since I was a little kid.
