SUMMARY:The French and Indian War in the Adirondacks
DESCRIPTION:In the mid-1750s\, New York was caught in the crossfire as the British and French struggled for control of North America. During the French and Indian War\, the Adirondack Mountain region saw numerous military encounters around Lakes George and Champlain while Sir William Johnson\, Robert Rogers\, John Stark\, Phineas Lyman\, and others carved their names in the annals of American history. Powerful fortifications rose and fell as the English and the French brawled; forts such as Fort William Henry\, Fort Ticonderoga\, and Fort Saint-Frederic/Fort Crown Point housed troops\, endured sieges\, and received their own battle scars over the course of the war. Author Marie Danielle Annette Williams uncovers the complex history of the Adirondacks during its most tumultuous time. \nMarie Danielle Annette Williams is an independent historian living in Upstate New York. She is a 2009 graduate of Hadley-Luzerne Central School in Lake Luzerne\, New York; she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in social studies adolescent education from the College of Saint Rose in Albany\, New York\, in 2014 and received her Master of Arts degree in American history from Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester\, New Hampshire\, in 2018. Marie holds membership with the French and Indian War Society of Lake George\, the Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance\, the Warren County Historical Society\, the Saratoga County History Center\, and the American Historical Association. When Marie isn’t writing or working her day job\, where she manages a business\, she’s researching for her podcast\, The Half-Pint Historian Podcast; drinking more Red Bull than she should; and overall living her best life. \nRegister HERE
