Caption Reads: Mt. Defiance, from Ft Ticonderoga, 1871.
I have my brother, Al, to thank for this picture of Mt. Defiance from 1871. My brother’s infinite Borgesian library of local history items was started before I even became interested in history, which should say it all. Since we were children, Al was collecting everything local that he could get his hands on. He pulls things out now and then to let me know he’s been doing this longer than I have!
Fort Ticonderoga was still in ruins when this picture was taken.
