One of the officers told Colonel Grant that the Indian name of the place was Ticonderoga.

Grant, remembering Campbell's story, said: "For God's sake don't let Campbell know this, or harm will come of it".
The troops embarked on Lake George and landed without opposition near the extremity of the lake early in July.

They marched from there, through woods, upon Ticonderoga, having had one successful skirmish with the enemy, driving them back with considerable loss.

Lord Howe was killed in this engagement.
On the 10th of July the assault was directed to be commenced by the picquets.

{162} The Grenadiers were to follow, supported by the battalions and reserves.
