Excerpt from Lake George and Lake Champlain: The War Trail of the Mohawk and the Battle-Ground Ground of France and England Their Contest for the Control of North America Like the northern boundaries of New York, New France, and the St. Lawrence and Sorel rivers, the territory with which this volume concerns itself was the storm centre of many a conflict, that deluged with blood the shores of Lake Champlain and Lake George.
