Note 1108 — Chapter VIII

This fort had been built in 1739, and called Fort St. Frederick. G. W. Schuyler (Colonial N. Y., ii. pp. 113, 114) uses the account of the adjutant of the French force, probably found in Canada at the conquest. The fort stood on the west side of the Hudson, south of Schuylerville, while Fort Clinton, built in 1746, was on the east side. (Ibid., ii. pp. 126, 254.) A plan of this later fort (1757) is noted in the King’s Maps (Brit. Museum), ii. 300. See no. 17 of Set of Plans, etc., London, 1763.
