Note 1453 — Chapter VIII · (continued 3)
Reading edition
Cf. letter in Penna. Archives, iii. 472. Later historians have followed Dwight (Travels, iii. 383) in supposing the earthworks still remaining to represent the work of Montcalm in preparation for the fight. Hough (ed. of Rogers’ Journal, p. 118) so accounts them. Parkman says, however, that these mounds are relics of the strengthened works that Montcalm threw up later, his protection at the fight being of logs mainly.
