@honeyroastpenut what's even worse is that the year before, Lee had made the exact same mistake at Malvern hill (amlost exactly a year before) and made the charge...

the Americans did get a cannon up there during the Rev War ... mostly psychological effect --- I believe something like one Hessian was killed

yeah its called mount defiance and if you could get cannons up it you could blow the fort to pieces

Fair enough, i was never sure.
Ever been to Gettysburg? I haven't, but i can't understand what made Lee order that charge... I mean, it was the same as Fredericksburg but the armies had swapped sides. He must have seen that it wouldn't have worked..

Most of our revolutionary,(thee misunderstanding to you) and Civil War battlegrounds are national parks. Most of the old forts are also, such as Governor Island, but some sites are administered under State control. Since some battlegrounds can be huge, like Gettysburg, there is inevitably some private property involved.

Nice! I thought it'd be your national heritage organisation or something. (we have the national trust and english heritage, a company that looks after old sites, buildings etc, maintains them, and lets people view them etc.)

It was originally a Verdun inspired star shaped fort, with two extensions on the landward side. It fell into ruin because it was useless after 1780 and was only saved by the Pell family which bought the land. That's right, it's a privately owned fort!

Awesome! It'd be nice to visit the fort, although i'm not sure it'd be worth crossing the drink specifically to see it, there are plenty of castles and Forts in England!

I've reacquainted myself with a few books I hadn't read in a while. Example: "1775" a book about the Boston siege, clearly states that the guns used came from Ticonderoga. Also, it appears that Ticonderoga has one of the nations largest collections of cannons! I'll have to visit!

Dunno. Apparently the guns were dragged 300km to support the siege of Boston, maybe looking there would be a start, if you wanted a gun from ticonderoga? Still, i guess if you look in the washington museums, you'd most probably find a field gun with its history. I couldn't really say though, I live in England.
