Dr. David Starbuck, has authored a new book, Excavating the Sutlers’ House: Artifacts of the British Armies in Fort Edward and Lake George.
University Press of New England has just published a new book which details the excavations of Dr. David Starbuck and his associates and colleagues.
It focuses on Rogers Island in Fort Edward, and Fort William Henry and the Lake George Battlefield Park in Lake George. It’s a great local history, which is very well done.
In 1996, on the East bank of the Hudson River, Starbuck’s team discovered the remarkable remains of a sutlers’ (or merchants’) house which had supplied goods to the British armies throughout the late 1750’s.
It retails for $24.95 and can be purchased from University of New England Press.
