>> guest: it's probably 50 miles north of new york city, on the hudson river. the hudson river goes almost straight north of new york city, and then it goes through these series of corkscrew turns around the mountains, called the highlands. it's very, very difficult sailing and, of course, those vessels in those days didn't sail as well as ours do now, anyway. so in order to get upriver british ships had to go through the highlands, and the americans had put a chain across in the middle of the highlands earlier in the war which the british had been able to break. so they chose west point for the next place to put a chain because there is an s-curve there. it's almost 180 degrees, the first part of it, and the british would not be able to break the chain, the argument went, because in the course of making that turn they would have to reset their sails and virtually stop in the water, and then they wouldn't have the momentum to break the chain. meanwhile, while they were sitting there as sitting ducks, all the batteries up at west point up above on the bluff woul

my colleague tom hudson will be along later in the program. oil prices fell more than a dollar a barrel today, suggesting there might soon be at least some relief at the pump. and, it couldn't come soon enough as high energy costs are a big topic from wall street to washington. in new york trading, oil fell about one dollar to $106.34 a barrel, the first decline in four sessions. still, the average price for a gallon of unleaded gasoline rose 12 cents in the past two weeks to $3.80 a gallon, reflecting february's jump in crude prices. but, those increases may start to slow if crude prices stop climbing. we have two reports this evening, looking at the impact of energy on the u.s. economy and on the presidential election. we begin with suzanne pratt in new york. >> reporter: if you're like most u.s. drivers, it's been hard to miss the big run-up in prices at the pump. gasoline started moving higher right after labor day and this year alone the national average for regular unleaded has surged 52 cents to $3.80 cents a gallon. still, it's unclear

my colleague, tom hudson, is off tonight. it was talk, not a deal to tap into emergency oil reserves. so says the white house. the obama administration denied reports that it had reached an agreement with britain to join forces, tapping into government- controlled strategic petroleum reserves. the talk triggered a drop in oil prices. in new york trading, they tumbled almost $2 to the $104-a- barrel level, but then recovered by the end of the day, closing at $105. but president obama today addressed worries about high oil and gasoline prices. speaking in maryland, he laid

lawrence and the hudson river valley, and the fort was originally built by the french, and, of course, it would be a scene of conflict. on lake george to the south the british built a camp in -- a fort in 1755 after conflict there with the french. and in the early conflict in this particular theater the english only had the assistance of the mohawks. the french had the assistance of many native peoples besides the help of their own french colonials, the french canadians, who had a very important role in this campaign. between 1755, 1758-'09 to the end of the war. now, this is a map from the massachusetts historical society again done by a british engineer of the location of the fort. let me just go back very briefly, and what you see here is a lake, and the fort is here, and -- and the map also indicates the route that the french would take for their attack, but they are not just going to attack a fort head-on, even if it's made mostly of logs and earth. they don't have the stone just to build a stone fort in the wilderness, so-called wilderness. well, it's a heavily forested region,

in new york when the airliner landed in the hudson. members of the siu on board. ships in the hudson river were able to take crew folks off that passenger airliner very quickly. it's part of the training that all of our members are given. and we are very proud of what they've been able to accomplish. >> thank you. mr. larsen? >> thank you, mr. chairman. i don't know why it was so ingrained in me. i could have been watching at lo of television. this pop culture phrase certainly was ingrained in me going up is that the captain goes down with the ship. it's like the ultimate responsibility goes with the person in charge of the ship. and that lesson -- you can apply it anywhere. somebody has to be responsible when something is under way. and i think that's why for u.s. viewers of news on this particular case were in such shock hearing about the stories of this particular captain. it just runs counter to everything that many of us grew up as learning. and so that's one of the reasons why we're here today to try to understand not just what i

colored infantry failed to reach the confederate trenches in their charge at port hudson in may 1863. but in april 1865 the regiment was part of the black division that helped take the last confederate for the outside mobile. it was all a question of training and experience. i might add a few words in favor of william tekumse sherman before closing. he is notorious for not wanting anything to do with black troops in his atlanta campaign, and only taking one half of one regiment with him on his march through georgia and the carolinas. these five companies of the 110th u.s. colored infantry were the only black regiment represented at the grand review in washington at the end of the war. but sherman was the only -- sherman was a bigot. and he did not mince words about it. but he was the only union official i came across, military or civilian, who recognized that black people might have some ideas of their own about the future. he wrote, sherman, "if negros are to be taken as soldiers by undue influence or force and compelled to leave their women and the urn uncertainty of their new condi

champlain was extremely important in the war as a corridor between the colony of new york and the hudson river valley and canada. and it could be an artery of invasion either moving northward or southward as we'll see at various points in the conflict. and, lastly of great importance was the st. lawrence river, the great river of canada. beginning with its source in the great lakes and, of course, its course downstream moving northeasterly all the way to the atlantic. and quebec being the main french fortress and most powerful single point in canada was to be very significant in the conflict. so let's take a look at a modern map and get a sense of this geography. now today beyond discussing the military history i'd like to give you a little sense of the human dimensions of this conflict. and the various peoples and interests involved. the struggles, the sufferings which were great, the haipt lea. the french colonists of acadia who were largely deported and expelled from their native land by the british during the conflict. we'll also talk about a battle that occurred in the lake champlai

my colleague, tom hudson is off tonight. the dow broke its winning streak after some disappointing economic news today. investors had been buying up stocks on a steady stream of upbeat news about the economy, but not today. inflation at the consumer level rose 4/10ths of a percent in february. high gasoline prices accounted for most of the increase. the biggest disappointment is a significant drop in consumer confidence. the university of michigan index in march fell to the lowest level this year. it's a sign that consumers are worried about high prices at the pump, and could scale back on spending. the major averages closed mixed. the blue chips lost 20. the nasdaq fell a point, and the s&p edged up a point. the dow rose almost two and a half percent on the week. the nasdaq gained over two percent, and the s&p 500 added 2.4% for the week. in the bond market it was the worst week since july. prices went down, and yields went up. the yield on the 10 year rises to 2.3%. joining us now to talk about all the of this, william gro
