Fort William Henry's Moments in Time

Fort William Henry, a French & Indian War (1755-1763) fortress, is largely known to Americans because of its role in the 1826 historical novel, The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper. The book was later made into several movies by that name. The British frontier garrison on the shores of Lake George, New York, only lasted from 1755 to 1757. Nonetheless, its grounds have had a remarkable history. It was the locale of seasonal occupations of prehistoric Indigenous Peoples, a colonial military stronghold, a site of three luxury hotels, a terminus for the Delaware & Hudson railroad, and since 1954, a popular museum. In the 70 chapters in Fort William Henry, Moments in Time, author Joseph W. Zarzynski presents highly informative stories about the narrative of Fort William Henry. That historical account is complemented by over 75 photographs, illustrations, and maps. The book's chapters are mainly gleaned from Zarzynski's columns in the Lake George Mirror newspaper.
