4.0 out of 5 stars
Quite the bloody history for a peaceful lake!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sails and Steam in the Mountains: A Maritime and Military History of Lake George and Lake Champlain (Paperback)
I'm enjoying reading this book and am learning all sorts of neat things about an area I love visiting. Since at the time I last studied the French and Indian wars I'd never even been to NY, it has a fresh relevance to me.When you purchase it, however, be sure and purchase detailed maps for the region between Montreal and Quebec and south to Albany. The tiny map at the beginning of the book does little to orient anyone not already intimately familiar with the area.
5.0 out of 5 stars
History buffs will love it!!,

Anyone (like myself) who finds early American history interesting (colonial, revolutionary, war of 1812) will love this book. It gives many historical quotes and accounts of events. It is also easy to understand and explains what 18th century terminology it uses.
It also does a good job with the ship models and pictures. It is also very good with explaining first hand accounts of the forts on the lake and the conditions they were in at the time. Highly recommend for anyone who is interested in the colonial period or ships and forts of the 18th century.
