this is a great read, highly recommended by david hackett fischer. the 2nd book is benedict arnold's navy which of course, is a famous person from the revolutionary war and specifically talks about the untold story of some of the naval battles that happened on lake champlain to the us having a victory at the battle of saratoga. for those interested in the founding of our country i am privileged to represent this district. the 3rd book is actually an older book for ticonderoga key to a continent written by a director of fort ticonderoga in the 1960s. going back in the past but it is the preeminent book that provides the history of fort ticonderoga. my last book on related to
