It sure was quite a view, to stare at the Lake George, on that summer evening, with all its warm shades. Across the mirror of the surface, a myriad of canoes, with thousands of Red Skins, dressed and painted for war. Next, to fill the scene, hundreds of sailing or rowing boats slowly plowed through. They were the regular forces and militians of New France. All they came for a date which would end in drama: the assault of Fort William Henry, over the south coast of the lake.
