Sinopsis
Excerpt from Northern Guide: Lake George, Lake Champlain, Montreal and Quebec, Green and White Mountains, and Willoughby Lake, With Maps and Tables of Distances
The garrison had' no sooner marched out of the fort, than a scene Of perfidy and barbarity commenced, which it is impossible for lan guage to describe. Regardless Of the articles of c'apitulation, the Indians attached to the French army, fell upon the defenceless soldiers, plua dering and murdering all that fell in their way. The French officers were idle spectators Of this bloody scene; nor could all the entreaties of Munro-e persuade them to furnish the promised escort. On that fatal day about 1500 Of the Eng lish were either murdered by the savages or carried by them into captivity never to return.

Excerpt from Northern Guide: Lake George, Lake Champlain, Montreal and Quebec, Green and White Mountains, and Willoughby Lake, With Maps and Tables of Distances
Eighteen miles from Saratoga Springs, on the way to Lake George, are Glens Falls. These are a considerable curiosity. The fall in the Hudson is about fifty feet, which affords a vast amount of water power. The Plank Road from Moreau to Lake George and the Saratoga and Whitehall Railroad crosses the Hudson at these falls. The Glens Falls Feeder, 11 miles long, connects the river above the falls with the Champlain Canal near Sandy Hill. The road from Glens Falls to Caldwell, at the head of Lake George, passes near Bloody Pond. This is near the place of action between Col. Williams and Gen. Dieskau, in 1775, and into this pond were thrown the bodies of those killed in the battle. Hence its name.
Caldwell is delightfully situated at the south-west end of the lake, and contains about two hundred inhabitants.
The Lake House and United States Hotel at this place are much resorted to in summer by travellers and parties of pleasure. A steamboat plies regularly between this place and the outlet of the lake at Ticonderoga. Near Caldwell village, at the south end of the lake, are the ruins of Fort Wm. Henry, and about a mile further to the southeast are those of Fort George.
