Transcriber's Notes

Cover: Montcalm Congratulating His Victorious Troops,
Battle of Carillon, Fort Ticonderoga, July 8, 1758.

“The little bronze flint and tinder box illustrated, was found in 1888 by the present Museum Director, then a small boy. His brother dislodged a stone while they were climbing around the fort. Under the stone was this box with flint and tinder in it. Bronze and of French design, it must have belonged to some important officer, probably Montcalm de Levis, Bougainville or Bourlamacque. The busts represent Cupid and Psyche; the faces are extraordinarily beautiful and expressive. The box measures 2¼ by 1¼ inches.

I consider this box and the back plate for the suit of half-armor (found a few years ago) the most interesting of the thousands of articles found at the Fort.

This little box stimulated the Director’s interest. Even as a small boy he hoped some day to preserve and perhaps restore Fort Ticonderoga. Many a year was to pass before this dream could become a reality.”
