July 12 1776: Americans take control of Ft. Stanwix and renamed it Ft Schuyler. By summer 1777, the fort would be besieged by British forces for 6 weeks. Read about these events in my novel Enterprising and Dangerous: erinmakela.com/books/ #indieauthor #yahistoricalfiction #americanrevolution

I love Fort Ticonderoga but Col. Anthony Wayne did not. In this week's Revolutionary Remark, he said, "It [the country about Ticonderoga] appears to be the last part of the world that God made, and I have some ground to believe it was finished in the dark." Pics of Fort Ti #americanrevolution
