FORT FRONTENAC.
From A set of plans and forts in America, reduced from actual surveys, 1763, published in London. The fort was at the modern Kingston, Canada. There is a view or plan of it in Mémoires sur les affaires du Canada, 1749-60, p. 115.
Note.—The annexed map is from Mante’s Hist. of the Late War, Lond., 1772. A map of the lake, from surveys made in 1762, is given in Parkman, i. 285. It is also reproduced in De Peyster’s Wilson’s Orderly Book.
Holden (Hist. Queensbury, 302, 303) mentions several MS. maps of Lake George of this period, preserved in the State Library at Albany. A map of the military roads (1759) from the Hudson to Lake George is given in Ibid., p. 341.
There is in the N. Y. Col. Docs., x. 721, a sketch map copied from an original in the Archives de la Guerre at Paris, called Frontiers du lac St. Sacrement, 1758, 8 Juillet. It shows Lake Champlain from below Crown Point, together with Lake George and the country towards Albany, marking the routes, forts, etc.
Cf. the section giving Lake George in Jefferys’ Map of the most inhabited part of New England, published November 29, 1755, and contained in his General Topography of North America and the West Indies, Lond., 1768, no. 37; and the separate map of Lake George, 1756, in Sayer and Bennet’s American Military Pocket Atlas, 1776. This I suppose to be the survey made in 1756 by Captain Jackson, of which a tracing is given in F. B. Hough’s ed. of Rogers’s journals, Albany, 1883. The map in Gay’s Pop. Hist. U. S., iii. 284, is a modern one.
Views of historic interest on Lake George, by T. A. Richards, are given in Harper’s Mag., vii. 161.
