SUMMARY:Fort William Henry's Moments in Time
DESCRIPTION:Author Joseph W. Zarzynski\, maritime archeologist and author\, presents his book\, Fort William Henry’s Moments in Time \, co-sponsored by Washington County Historical Society and Washington County 250th. \nLake George’s Fort William Henry is known to Americans as a French & Indian War (1755-1763) fortress that was destroyed in August 1757. The British outpost\, erected in 1755\, fell to the French and the Indigenous allies after a siege of several days. That seminal event was immortalized in the 1826 novel\, The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper. \nThe grounds upon where Fort William Henry was located has a long and remarkable history. Besides being the site of a colonial stronghold\, the location has had three luxury hotels\, been the terminus for the Delaware and Hudson Railroad\, and currently houses the popular Fort William Henry Museum that opened seven decades ago in May 1954. \nZarzynski will present a program sharing informative stories about Fort William Henry and its grounds\, The talk is based upon his book Fort William Henry’s Moments in Time (2023\, 244 pages). Most of the book’s chapters are gleaned from the author’s columns in the Lake George Mirror newspaper. This is his 8th book. \n  \nThe author will have copies of this book available for sale and to sign (check or cash). \n  \nPlease visit https://greenwichfreelibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/fort-william-henrys-moments-in-time/ to register
