Fort Ticonderoga NY, fife and drumDo time a visit with the many re-enactments. This is in NY State, north of Saratoga. For a timeline on the Revolutionary War, see ://members.aol.com/ntgen/hrtg/revtmln.html.
There is a fine drive to the Fort, through woods with markers and narratives for the battles and skirmishes. Here the Black Watch regiment fought for the British. Follow the memorials. Costumed guides are at the main fort.
Benedict Arnold, here a colonel I understand, fought with distinction. Later despised as a turncoat, one who is disloyal and deserts his prior cause, see ://www.thefreedictionary.com/turncoat, he was nonetheless brilliant. Nothing is simple.
