Battle of Ticonderoga (1759)
The
Battle of Ticonderoga in
1759 was not so much a battle as an investment. In
1758, at the
Battle of Ticonderoga (1758) a major British Army was broken by the 'Gibralter of the West'. This summer, most of the garrison had been removed to defend
Quebec,
Montreal, and the western forts. Sir
Jeffrey Amherst moved north from
Lake George and cut off supply lines.
Crown Point and Fort Ticonderoga fell to his advance with no major resistance. However, they did delay his forces and prevent him from joining General Wolfe at the Siege of Quebec.
