This was not a battle
The name, 'the Battle of Ticonderoga' belongs to the assault on Fort Carillon, at Ticonderoga, New York, in 1758. What happened at Fort Ticonderoga in 1777 involved no actual fighting - therefore it was not a battle. To needlessly call it a 'battle' means that we are left with TWO Battles of Ticonderoga when there was really only one. Let us call what happened in 1777 the Loss of Fort Ticonderoga, the Abandonment of Fort Ticonderoga, the Withdrawal from Fort Ticonderoga or the Occupation of Fort Ticonderoga - anything but a battle. That way we avoid totally unnecessary confusion and make things clearer for everyone.

No it doesn't. The Battle of Carillon refers to the assault on Fort Carillon. And this battle did involve an artillery bombardment and a British pursuit (

Strength of St. Clair
In the section titled "Winter Fortifications", it is stated that General St. Clair had 2,500 men; however, the infobox states that he had 3,500. Which is correct?

Hi, I am reviewing this article for GA. It is very interesting and well written. I made some changes, which you are free to reverse, to clarify the wording, hopefully. My main question is the issue of British versus American spelling/dates. I notice that the dates are British format, but some of the spelling is American: e.g. defenses, instead of the British defences. This usage needs to be consistent throughout the article. —

This article was apparently started by someone using British-style dates, so I decided to exercise some balance and continued the practise. I think I took care of the obvious differences between the two styles... Magic♪piano19:21, 29 April 2009 (UTC)reply
