Ft Crown Point

On this day in 1775,

Lt. Seth Warner takes a small group of Ethan Allen's Green Mountain Boys and sails northward on Lake Champlain to capture Ft Crown Point. This, with Ft. Ticonderoga, provides a base of operations for the Americans for their upcoming Canadian campaign.

And in 1780,

Charleston falls to the British under Clinton.
