Battle of Ft. Ticonderoga

On this day in 1776,

The second Continental Congress declares it's independence from Great Britain.

And in 1777,

Brig. Gen. Simon Fraser's light infantry and Brig. Gen. Baron von Riedesel's advancing units exchange volleys at the marshy banks of Eagle Creek at the foot of Mount Independence. When the smoke cleared, no one had been injured at another Battle of Ft. Ticonderoga.
