With Ticonderoga and Crown Point captured these American soldiers worked along side British regulars to ready Fort Ticonderoga for winter and the following season's advance into the heart of New France. Watch period carpentry and soldiers cooking, and witness how the soldiers in 1759 dealt with the harsh winter realities on the northern frontier. http://www.fortticonderoga.org/learn/...
