THOMPSON, Author of History and Gazetteer of Vermont. PUBLISHED BY S. B. NICHOLS. BURLINGTON: 1854. i LAKE GEORGE. ( Eighteen miles from Saratoga Springs, on the way to Lake George, arc Glens Falls. These are a considerable curiosity. The fall in the Hudson is about tifty feet, which affords a vast amount of water power. The Plank Road from Moreau to Lake George and :he Saratoga and White- hall Railroad crosses the Hudson at these lolls. The Glens Falls Feeder, 11 miles long, connects the river above the falls with the Champlain Canal near Sandy Hill. The road from Glens Fulls to Caldwell, at the head of Lake George, passes near Bloody Pond. T!:is is near the place of action between Col. Williams and Gen. Dieskau, in 1775, and into this pond were thrown the bodies of those killed in the battle. Hence its name. Caldwell is delightfully situated at the south-west end of the lake, and contains about two hundred inhabitants. The Lake House and United States Hotel at this place are much resorted to in summer by travellers and parties of pleasure. A steamboat plies regularly between this place and the outlet of the lake at Ticonderoga. Near Caldwell village, at the south end of the lake, are the ruins of Fort Wm. Henry, and about a mile farther to the south- east are those of Fort George. Lake Gear go is so nearly connected with Lake Cham-.

A British and provincial army having been collected at Ft. Edward and Ft. Wm. Henry under Gen. Webb, for the re- duction of the French works on Lake Champlain, the French sent a large army up tlie lake under Gen. Montcalm, for their defence. Gen. Webb, then at Fort Wm. Henry, learning from Maj. Putnam that this force had entered Lake George, returned immediately to Fort Edward, and the day following sent Col. Monroe with his regiment to reinforce the garison at the lake. The day after Munroe's arrival the French appeared at the fort, laid siege to it and demanded its surrender. The garrison, consisting of 2500 men, defended themselves with much bravery for several days, with the expectation of succor from Fort Edward. But as none came, Munroe was obliged on the 9th of August to capitulate. By the articles of capitulation all the public property was to be delivered to Montcalm, and the garrison were to march out with their arms and baggage, and to be escorted to Fort Edward, on condition of not serving against the French within the period of eighteen months. The garrison had no sooner marched out of the fort, than a scene of perfidy and barbarity commenced, which it is impossible for language to describe. Regardless of the ar- ticles of capitulation, the Indians attached to the French army, fell upon the defenceless soldiers, plundering and murdering all that fell in their way. The French otiicers See Tlioropson's Yerraont, part 11= page 8. A3 6 ^ASSACREE AT PORT WM. HENRY. were idle spectators of this bloody scene ; nor could all the escort. On that fatal day about 1500 of the English were ^hern,urderedbythesavagesorcarriedbythe.'intorr; tivity never to return. ^ The day following these horrid transactions. Major Put- nam was despatched from Fort Edward with his rangers to watch the motions of the enemy. He reached La^ George,ust after the rc.r of the enemy had left the shore and the scene which was presented he describes as awS in eed. .. The fort was entirely destroyed ; the barralks out-houses and building, were a heap of ruins-the cannon stoies, boats and vessels were all carried away. The fires were still burning-the smoke and stench offensive and suf- focating.

LAKE CHAMPLAIN. This Lake, on account of the beauty and variety of its scenery and its historical incidents, is one of the most in- teresting bodies of water in Nortli America. It was dis- covered by Samuel Champlain, on the 4th of July, 1609. Having founded the colony of Quebec in 1608, in June, 1609, he, with a number of French and Indians, proceeded in a shallop, up the St. Lawrence and river Iroquois, now Richelieu, till stopped by the Chambly rapids. From this place he determined to proceed in Indian canoes, but the Frenchmen manifested great reluctance and only two could be persuaded to accompany him. With these and about 00 of the natives, having transported their canoes by the rapids, he embarked, on the 2d of July, and, proceeding southward, on the ith of July entered the lake. Champlain anu his party proceeded along the west shore, advancing by water during the night and retiring into the forests by day, to avoid being discovered by the Iroquois, between whom and the Canada Indians a war was then carried on. As they drew near the enemy's country they proceeded with great caution, but, on the 29tli of July, in the evening, they fell in with a large war party of the Iroquois. Both parties drew up to the sliore, and the night was spent in preparation for battle, and in singing and taunting each other. In the morning an engagement took place, but the Frenchmen being armed with muskets, it was decided in favor of Cliamplaiu and his party, a large number of the A4 p t* 8 I^K.E CIIAMPLAIN.

NAViGATioN.-The first Steam Boat built on tins lake commenced running in 1809. The line Boats have always been favorably known to tnavellers either for business or pleasure, for the manner in which they have been managed -their neat and orderly appcarance-obligmg and atten- tive officers, and efficient crews. At present there aredaily lines to and from Whitehall and Rouse's Point, stopping at intermediate places and connecting with the various Kail- „ads-also numerous Ferry Boats, PropeUers and Tow Boats, besides more than 300 Sloops, Canal Boats, Barges, ^"chanplain Canal connects the navigable waters of the Hudson with Lake Champlain. It is C-1 miles long, 40 feet wide at the top and 28 at the bottom, with a navigable feeder at Sandy Hill U miles long.

It passes in part along the line of Burgoyne's advance from Lake Cham- plain-^near the scene of his principal battles-and of his final surrender. It passes near Fort Miller-Fort Edward -and Fort Anne-the spot where Miss M'Uea was murdered-the tree to which Gen. Putnam was bound in "wumHAU, is situated at the junction of the Champlain Canal with th. lake. It contains about 2500 inhabitants, A5 ' i 10 WHITEHALL. a Presbyterian, an Episcopal and a Methodist church, a bank, &c. It is a great thoroughfare of travel and mer- chandise, is a place of considerable business, and is fast improving in appearance and comfort. Before the revolu- tion Major Skeene resided here, and the place was for some time known by the name of Skeenesborough. The Indian name of this place is said to be Kah-sha-quah-na ov place where dip fish. At this place steamboats arrive and depart daily during the continuance of the navigation, forming r, connected line with the Whitehall and Saratoga Railroad. From here to Ticonderoga the lake is very narrow, averaging less than a mile. The widest place is about two miles, against the south part of Orwell. At Shole's Landing, 1 mile south of Mount Independence, the width is only forty rods. Haifa mile from Whitehall is what is called the Elbow, a short turn in the lake oc- casioned by the projection of a rocky point from the west. It is with considerable difficulty that large boats pass it on account of the narrowness of the channel. To avoid delay the Railroad is continued to the north end of the village to a Steam Boat landing north of the Elbow, where boat pas- sengers take or leave the cars. Half a mile further north South Bay opens to the southwest. TicoNDEROQA.— This is an Indian word signifying noisy; and was applied by the natives to the falls in the outlet of Lake George.

At the head of these Gen Abcrorombie em- barked at Fort Wm. Henry on the 5th of July, and pro- ceeded down the lake in 900 batteax and 135 whaleboats. He landed at the lower end without difficulty.

It was taken by surprise by Ethan Allen at the head of 83 men. mostly Green Mountain Boys, in the morning of the 10th of May. 1775 who demanded its surrender " in the na7ae of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congres,." It re- mained in possession of the Americans till the ^yancc of Burgoyne through the lake in 1777. The Amencans at this time occupied Ticonderoga and Mount Independence on the opposite side the lake, where they had some small batteries. These posts were connected by a floating bridge 80 rods long and 12 feet wide. Burgoyne first took pos- session of Afount Hope, situated about a mil. to the north- west of Ticonderoga. Mount Defiance, situated at the southwest, completely commanded the American woAs being 80 feet above them, but was supposed to be of so dit- fioult access as to prevent any attempt of the British to plant cannon upon it. But in this they were mistaken ; for on the 5th of July the British had taken possession of this mountain, and had commenced the erection of a bat- tery The American General St. Clair immediately called a council of of&cers.by whom it was agreed to abandon the • post at Ticonderoga and Mount Independence and retreat to the south, which was carried into effect before the next morning. The British then took possession and held it till the close of the war. From Ticonderoga to Crown Proint the width of the lake 14 CHIMNEY POINT. varies from 1 to 2 milesTlir^s distance are two or three andmg places, all on tlie east side. Chimnet Point, the landing place opposite to Crown i-oint, IS in the south western corner of the town of Addi. son. Here the French commenced their first settlement upon the lake in 1731. When Crown Point fell into the hands of the English in 1759, this settlement was aban- doned aad the remains of the chimneys, which they had erec ed in their huts, probably suggested to the first English settlers the name of Chiuney Point. The slone mndmll, mentioned by Kalm, as being one or two musket shote to the east of Fort Frederick, and as haying 5 or 6 small cannon mounted in it in 1749, and which has been supposed to have given name to this point, was most prob- ably at the place opposite, marked by the ruins of what is called Grenadier's Battery.

Amherst in 1759, the French abandoned this fort and retired to the nortli end of the lake. Amherst took immediate possession but instead of repairing the old works, began a new fort which was called Crown Point, about 200 yards to the southwest, on liigher and more commanding ground. This fort was never completed, as is evident from an e.amina- tiou of the ditch, glacis, &c., at the present day, a though it has been said that the British government expended here no less than £2.000,000 sterling.

Basin Harbor, one of the best on the lake, is in the town of Ferrisburgh, Vt., and is 5 miles west from the city of Vergennes, and is the landing for it. Fort Cassin, 3 miles north of Basin Harbor and on the nor h Bide of the month of Otter Creek, was formerly a landing place of passengers for Vergennes. It is 8 miles from the city of Vergennes, where Macdonough's fleet was fitted ouc, with which he gained his victory. Fort Cassin takes Its name from Lieut. Cassin of tiie navy, who with a small breast work at this place, and less than 200 men commanded by himself and Capt. Thornton, of the artillery on the 14th of May, 1814, repulsed a large British force in an attempt to enter the creek for the purpose of destroying the American flotilla before it should be ready for service Split Rock has been regarded as one of the greatest natural curiosities on the lake, and is one which did not escape the notice of the earliest French explorers. Jiocher Fendu occupies a conspicuous place on Charlevoix map of 1 744. The part detached contains about half an acre, rises about 30 feet above the water, is covered with bushes Ind is separated about 12 feet from the main rock. Some have supposed the chasm to have been produced by the breaking off of the promontory in consequence of being undermined by the lake, or by some great convulsion of nature. But the slightest examination sliows that the rocky point was here originally crossed by what geologists call a dike, the materials of which have been washed out, forming a chasm m the more solid rock through which the lake flows when high. The chasm, instead of being unfathomable, as some have represented, is so shaUow, that no water flows through ESSEX — JUNIPER ISLAND. 19 1 is in the from the -nd on the brmerly a is 8 miles I fleet was >rt Cassin bo with a 200 men artillery, 1 force in istroying ' service, greatest (lid not Jiocher : map of re, rises s and is ae have reaking jrmined i.

The width of the lake between Split Eook .nd Thompson's Point is only about a mile, irom this place the width of the lake increases towards the north, and at McA^eil's Ferry, between Charlotte landing and the village of Essex, it wants 20 rods of three miles. Tins is one of the oldest and best ferries across the lake. Th. passage is by a small steamboat called the Boquet. Just north of Charlotte landing is the delightful residence of ChArles McNeil, Esq. ,. , „nA • i.„i, Essex is a pleasant village, coptain.ng about bCO inhab- itants. From this place the width of the lake increases a^ it flows north, and at Burlington amounts to about 10 miles ; and here is the greatest expanse of water unm er- rupted by islands. On the way from Essex to Burlington, are passed the Four Brothers, (lying at some distance,) Juniper Island and Rock Dunder on the left, and Pott.er s Point and month of Shelburn Bay on the right. FooB Brothers are four small islands lying about 7 miles south-west from Burlington, and being out of the usual line of navigation, they are resorted to by guUs and other water-fowl for the purpose of raising their young. On Charlevoix map of 1744, they are called Ule de quatre Vents. , ^ .

At this place is an extensive woolen factory, a cotton factory, flour- ing mill, and several other factories and mills. A large block factory, satinet factory, and several mills have been destroyed by fire, which have not yet been rebuilt. Popu- lation about 2000. From Burlington to Port Kent, 10 miles, the course is a little north of west. Juniper Island and the Four Broth- ers lie at the left, and on the right, first Lone-rock or Sharpshin Point, near which may be seen the residence of theRt. Rev. J. H. Hopkins, and a little further along Ap- pletree Point, and still farther and more remote, Colches- ter Point. Winooski river enters the lake between the two last. Just before reaching Port Kent, a considerable island is passed lying on the left, called SchuyUr^s Island. The French called it Isle au Chapon. The Point of the main land lying between this island and Port Kent, is called Point Trembleau. Port Kent is a pleasant little village which owes its ori- gin to the late Elkanah Watson, Esq. and has grown up with- in a few years. It has a convenient dock from which is Shipped the greater part of the immense quantity of iron manufactured in this section of the country. On the Au Sable river which runs through a region abounding m iron 24 POUT JACKSOX. ore, and empties into the lake a little north^^iflhir^ are the flourishing manufacturing villages of Ausable J'orks, (, Imton^ille, Keesoville, and Birmingham. On this river are many interesting falls. Those at Birmingham, 2 m.le, fron. Port Kent, and the Au.abU Chasu below through wh.ch the ri.er parses, are well worthy .he notice of the cunous traveler. Fro.n Port Kent to the Ausable lorks there is a plank road about 20 miles in leno-th From Port Kent to Plattsburgh the course isllong the western shore of the lake. PoHT Jackson, the only intermediate landing place, is nearly west of the south end of Valccur Uland, noted for a severe naval conflict, on the llth of October 1776, be- tween the American flotilla under General Arnold, and he Bnttsh under Capt Prindle. The battle was fought a Utt e„orth of Port Jackson. Five or six miles nearly east from Port Jackson was the scene of the conflagration of the steamer Phamix on the morning of the 5th ^f Sep- tember. 1819. Previous to the settlement of Port Kent tne steamboats proceeded directly from Burlington to. PIatsbu,^.h, along the west shore of Grand Isle, as a part of th m do at present. On the morning of the accident, the Phcen>.x left Burlington about one o'clock, against a s rong north wind. About Oo'clock, while off neaH;l he south end of Grand Isle, the boat was discovered to be on fire, and all efforts to extinguish it were unavailing There wereat this time U persons on board, 31 of whom entered the small boats, and succeeded with consider^ d fficulty :n reaching a small island about a mile to the Windward, called Providence Island.

The enemy opened their batteries upon the American works and the same time attempted to cross the Saranac and gain their rear The Americans kept up a destructive fire from the.r fort and met the enemy at every point with most determined bravery. As soon as it was known that the.r fleet had surrendered, the enemy relinquished all their hopes, and began making arrangements for a retreat ; and before the next morning they had retired so precipitately as to leave behind their wounded, and large quantities of provisions and military stores. The oificers who fell on both sides in these engagements, were all buried near together in the public cemetery at Plattsburgh. and the Clinton County Military Association celebrated the anniversary of the battle in 1843, by placing over them marble monuments with appropriate inscrip- lions. . , .

On Charlevoix's map of 1744 this point is Called Cap Scoimoiuiton. Cumberland Head is connected by a ferry with Grand Island. Orand Island, or South Hero, is the largest island in the lake and belongs to Vermont. It has an excellent soil, and IS connected with Cumberland Head on the west by a ferry and with the main shoro on the east by a bridge near- ly 2 miles long, called the Sand-bar Bridge. North Hero is another large island lyhig north of the above. It cons' itutcs a township of the same name, and belongs to Vermont. The steamboats from Burlington and 1 lattsburgh to St. Albans, pass between these islands. Isle La Motte also belongs to Vermont ; contains 4620 acres, and constitutes a township of the same name. Its rocks are lime, from which is quarried a fine black and gray marble. Alburgh, lying still further north, is a township form- ed by a point of land extending southward between the lake and Missisco Bay. It is connected with Canada along the 45th parallel of latitude. In this town is a medicinal spring which is a place of considerable resort for invalids. In High^ale, lying east of the bay, is an- other medicinal spring of quite equal celebrity. The Northern Vermont Railroad terminates on the west shore of Alburgh, opposite to the termination of the Ogdens- burgh Railroad at Rouse's Point, and the two termina- tions are connectod by a bridge.

From Burlington the easiest way of visiting these mountains, is to proceed first by the Vermont Central Railroad to Waterbury, 28 miles. This route is along Winooski river, and the principal objects along it are WiNOOSKi Village 2 miles from Burlington, where there is excellent water power, a woolen, cotton, and flour- ing mills, and some other Victories. Village contains about 2000 inhabitants. ^ The Chasm and Hi^h Brilge and Penniman & Catlin s extensive lime-kilns, are one mile further along.

WILLOUGHBY LAKE. ^ Tliis lake, which has become a favorite place of resort lOr pleasure parties in (he summer, is in the township of Wostmore, Orleans County, Vermont. It is ^ miles Ion., and from half a mile to U mile wide. Its s^uth end C m a ciasm between two granite mountains, the sides of which ficing each other, are nearly perpendicular, and about half a mile asunder. That on the east side is called Pissah, and that on the west Ilor. These names were given to the two summits long before there w.as any settle- ment m that part of the county, and there is no good reason why the former name should be supplanted bylhat of Ananancc, which some are endeavoring to substitute for WILLOUOIIBY LAKE. 87 it The surface Of Willoughby Lake is 1161 feet above the ocean, and the summit of Pisgah 1586 feet above the lake or 2747 feet above the ocean. The bed of the lake is, for the most part, a clean ^vhite sand and pebbles, and the ,vater clear and pure. The coldness and purity of the wa- ter the salubrity of the air, and above all, the ivild grand- eur and beauty of the scenery, (and I must add, the savory . longe,) render it one of the most inviting summer retreats from the dust and heat and turmoil of city and village, any ^vhere to be found. Three years ago tliat lake was hardly accessible, on either side. Now a good road passes along the whole length of the eastern shore, and at the south end n spacious public house, called the Lake House, has been erected for the accommodation of travellers and visitors, Tvhere stages arrive and depart daily, evening and mormng in both directions. The site of the Lake House is 122 feet above the lake. The J\^aturcd Flo.ver Garden, so inter- esting to the Botanist, is situated on a sloping surface, in the western declivity of Pisgah, 583 feet above the Lake. The ascent to the garden is somewhat difficult, but that from the Lake House to the summit of Mt. Pisgah is quite easy, and the view from it exceedingly fine. Wil- loughby Lake and the adjacent mountains, from a point three miles to the northward, form one of the finest views found any where in New England. From Burlington there are three principal routes to Willoughby Lake. The most direct is by way of Johnson, Craftsbuiy and Irasburgh, mostly by stage. Another route is by tho Vt.

The tatioD, In Roxbury, seven miles from Northfteld the road cross- es the serpentine range from Avhich the verd antique mar- ble is obtained of excellent quality. The principal villages on the way to White River Junc- tion are West Randolph, Bethel, Royalton and White River village. From White River Junction, the Vt. Central Railroad continues south to Windsor, the Northern Rail- road proceeds to Bost.)n by way of Concord and Lowell, and the Passumpsic road northward to St. Johnsbury. Proceeding northward, the traveller passes through Nor- wich, four miles from the Junction. Norwich is a pleasant village, and the seat of the Nor- wich University, which is only one mile from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. Newbury, 8G miles from the Junction, is situated on one of the finest and most extensive meadows on the Connecti- cut. Here is a spring impregnated with sulphuretted hy- drogen which is much visited by invalids. Wells River, 4 miles further along, is the place where passengers usually cross the Connecticut and proceed by stage to the mountains. There are two lines to the White Mountains, one by the way of Littleton, 38 miles, and the other by way of Franconia Notch, (23 miles to Flume House) 49 miles. The more interesting scenery on the Franconia route more than compensates for the greater distance. Ifthe traveller wishes to take Willoughby Lake in liis way, he can proceed from Wells River to St. Johnsbury by Railroad, and thence through Lyndon by stage to the lake. From Willoughby Lake he can proceed by stage to Island 40 WHITE MOUNTAINS.
