Author Description

Excerpt from Northern Guide: Lake George, Lake Champlain, Montreal and Quebec, Green and White Mountains, and Willoughby Lake, With Maps and Tables of Distances The garrison had' no sooner marched out of the fort, than a scene Of perfidy and barbarity commenced, which it is impossible for lan guage to describe. Regardless Of the articles of c'apitulation, the Indians attached to the French army, fell upon the defenceless soldiers, plua dering and murdering all that fell in their way. The French officers were idle spectators Of this bloody scene; nor could all the entreaties of Munro-e persuade them to furnish the promised escort. On that fatal day about 1500 Of the Eng lish were either murdered by the savages or carried by them into captivity never to return.
