After a short stay at Crown Point, Burgoyne moved on with his army to Ticonderoga. This fortress lies on the western shore of Lake Champlain* at the place where the outlet of Lake George enters, and about twelve miles south of Crown Point* Lake Champlain and the outlet of Lake George wash it on three sides, while a marsh and ditch, with a bank, cover the other side. The Americans had strencthened the French lines with additional works and a block-house. They had erected other posts with works a...nd block-houses, on the left, towards Lake George ; and to the right of the French lines, two new block -houses, and other works had been added. On the eastern shore of the inlet, and opposite to Ticonderoga, there is a high circular hill, which they had occupied and fortified. To this they gave the name of Mount Independence, On the summit of this hill they had constructed a star fort, enclosing a large square of bar- racks, well fortified and supplied with artillery. The foot of the hill, which, on the west side, projects into the lake, was strongly intrenched to the edge of the water, and the intrench- ments were well lined with heavy artillery.
