Battle of Ft. Ticonderoga

On this day in 1775,

Caps. Benedict Arnold and Ethan Allen, in a pre-dawn raid, take 50 British and 100 cannon. A garrison was left to guard and fort and cannon since they had to no way to move the guns after the Battle of Ft. Ticonderoga.

And in 1777,

Maj. Gen. Adam Stephen attacks British Highlanders at Piscataway. He is driven off with the British pursuing him for miles back to the American camp at Metuchen after The Battle of Piscataway.
