  Battle of Split Rock–October 13, 1776

  Oct 13, 20262 minS0

  <p >The Battle of Split Rock is really just a continuation of the Battle of Valcour, and a lot of it takes place in a location called Button Mould Bay (or Buttonmold Bay). </p> <p >So why is it called the Battle of Split Rock? </p> <p >That’s a fine question. On the western shore of Lake Champlain, just north of Button Mould Bay, is a formation called Split Rock Mountain. It rises sharply from the lake to an altitude of just over 1000 feet, and it’s where the confrontation between the British and the Americans resumed. </p> <p >Butt...

  Battle of Valcour Island–October 11, 1776

  Oct 11, 20262 minS0

  <p >The Battle of Valcour Island didn’t really take place on the island; rather it was in Valcour Bay, a strait between New York and Valcour Island, in Lake Champlain. </p> <p >After the failed invasion of Quebec the Continental forces retreated south to Fort Ticonderoga, at the south end of Lake Champlain. As they retreated they destroyed materiel they couldn’t use and left it behind in the relatively shallow, relatively narrow lake. This made navigating the lake tough for the British, so they took their time to get more reliable ships to assist with their next move. </p> <...

  Howe Readies For NY–June 23, 1776

  Jun 22, 20262 minS0

  <p >That Admiral Richard Howe maintained some sympathies for the Colonists in the earlier years of his career might be overselling it a little bit. </p> <p >Howe did have some sympathies, but when he and his brother, General William Howe, met with the Committee of Safety headed by Benjamin Franklin, the idea was to quash the idea of revolution and effect a return to status quo. When that failed, Admiral Howe was the first to hoist the Jolly Roger. </p> <p >Okay, he didn’t do that exactly, but he was fully prepared to do whatever he needed to do...

  Finally Bailing Out Of Canada–June 8, 1776

  Jun 7, 20262 minS0

  <p >As a nation, we should be able to face our failures as squarely as we crow our triumphs, and make no mistake: the invasion of, and withdrawal from Canada was a botched effort from one end to the other. </p> <p >Perhaps the only thing that kept it from being a bigger deal was the distraction a few weeks later of the Colonies delcaring themselves to be states independent from Great Britain. </p> <p >We barely had an army that had any idea of how to provision its forces, yet we sent a bunch of them to the north...

  RIP John Thomas–June 2, 1776

  Jun 1, 20262 minS0

  <p >John Thomas was a doctor and a soldier from Massachusetts who was in Quebec during the attempted invasion and was in charge of the withdrawal until he got smallpox and died on this day in 1776. </p> <p >Thomas discovered he liked military service about as much as he liked being a surgeon, so in 1747 he became a lieutenant in the British army. A few years later he served as a surgeon for a different regiment. </p> <p >In the early days of the Revolution, Thomas nearly quit the Continental Army because he wasn’t named as a major general.
