FORT TICONDEROGA RELICS
The summer bulletin of the Fort Ticonderoga Museum has just come from the press. The major portion of the brochure is devoted to a biography of Gen. Montcalm, the French commandant of the fortress (then called Carillon) in July 1758, who utterly routed the 20,000 British with his small force od 3000. The Museum has an ori- ginal letter of Montcalm, written by him to his wife dated July 14, 1758, a few days after the battle. However, the article in the book-, let, that particularly interested 'us were the eight pages devoted to the relics, French, English and American that have been brought back from the past by the excava- tions recently carried on. Some of the discoveries have resulted in rebuilding the defenses or erec- tion of new buildings, but most of them have been made by means of the mechanism that was used in World War II to ascertain hid- den metal objects. .
We wonder if what has been done at Ticonderoga could not be duplicated at Oriskany or Fort Johnson, and certain other places in the Mohawk Valley. There are two pages in the issue illustrat- ing fifteen artistic French But- tons and eleven numbered buttons. The exhibit has a variety of a hundred of beautiful French and English buttons from the uniforms of officers. The numbered buttons indicate the regiments bivouaced at Ticonderoga.
There are thousands of parts of guns, pails full of flints, hund- reds of lurchpins, cannon balls of all sizes, some weighing 24 lbs., hundreds of bayonets, thousands of grapeshot, tools of every var- iety, spades, shovels, hammers, axes, rakes, hoes, chiseis, trowels, nails and spikes, door knobs and hinges, knives of all sorts, two- tine forks and dozens of pewter and silver spoons.
Of interest was the finding of the original pump from the West Barracks. It was a hand affair to get cistern water. This cistern is still in use but an electric pump is employed., There are thousands of sleeve links (brass, silver and gold and no end of buckles, masses of coins, (copper) and "chewed" ibullets (used in amputations and floggings to withstand the suffer- ing.)
The general' headquarters site has been partially excavated and has produced an immense quan- tity of relics of which we mention but a 'few, as 299 rounded two- piece buttons, 163 broken buttons, 44 fancy (French) buttons (silver and gold plated), 268 musket balls, 78 solid buttons (silver, brass, and pewter), 179 gun flints, many

Mount Hope At Ticonderoga®
By W N. Dailey
All of us who are inclined to recall the past know of Ticonder- oga and . the struggle of the French and English and American forces to hold it as a defense on the road from Canada to the west- ern lands. But nearly a half mile, from the old fort is Mount Hope overlooking Lake Champlain and the portage to Lake George, which was a much better site for de- fense than Carrillon ('Ticonderoga) easy of attack from the hills, s.t the rear.
During the French and Indian War Mt. Hope known then as Mill Heights, because of the saw mill at its base was fortifled but allow- ed to decay. However, with the taking of Ticonderoga by Ethan and Allen and his Green Mountain boys, (1775) the grounds at Mt. Hope were again occupied by the American army and later (1776) the fort was greatly strengthened under the direction of Gen. St. Clair, commandant of the forces at Fort Ti.
When Burgoyne approached (1777) the force at Mt. Hope re- treated to Tl. In his work, "Tra- vels thro North America," a," An- bury, an officer in Burgoyne's army, says that Gen. Phillips took the fort on July 2, 1777 and that Fraser's corps and two brigades of artillery occupied the redoubt, This site controlled the passage from Lake Champlain to Lake George. This author says that the Americans pounded the defense for two days but unsuccessfully! In the return fire by Fraser's mdiera they planned to take Flort "", a-1 Pargoyne gave the place, the name of Mount Hope, .The English under the lead of Gen. T. Wie?, an engineer with Rur- goyne dragged cannon to the top of Monut Defiance and succeeded, in driving St. Clair and his force out of Fort Ti. After its capture by the British. followed their der feat at Saratoga. The Americans then retook Mt. Hope.

LISE AND NEWS
The defense at Mt. Hope cover- ed about four acres of ground, and included a blockhouse, guard house and powder magazine. Its; chance of escaping death is ever real value lay in the fact that it covered one of the most important portages in America, the passage between Lake Champlain and
Lake George. The importance of this fort was recognized by the historians of the times of the Re- volution but with the rebuilding of Fort Ti this old defense has been forgotten.
In 1946 the spot was bought by Carroll S. Lonergan who interest- ed himself in the rehabilitation of the old redoubt. He grew up on the farm adjacent to this historic ground and with the aid of a few friends sought to revive public interest in this old fortification. He wrote two books "The North- ern Gateway" and "Historic Crown Point", restored the old blockhouse and plans to bring back the powder magazine and the guardhouse, and erect a model colonial cabin among the pine trees on the high cliff at the north end of the terrain. Among the
many historic relics displayed in the rebuilt fort is an old cannon taken from Lake Champlain in 1947. It was found near Valcour Island. Then there are guns, axes, bayonetts, shovels, cannon balls, grapeshot and many other articles found in the outer breastworks. If excavations could be made as has recently been done at Fort Ti, doubtless an abundance of mater- iai could be brot to light. No ad- mission is charged to view the place which is open during the summer, Visitors to the village of Ticonderoga should pay a visit to this historic Mount Hope.
