Description
Lake Champlain is America's most historic waterway, full of watershed events and paradoxes. It was inhabited by Indigenous Peoples for thousands of years. With the arrival of Europeans, the lake became a vital route between the English in New England and the French in Quebec. Its isolated beauty stands in stark contrast to the military campaigns that unfolded there. While enormous forts were erected, colonial villages blossomed, massive armies waged war on its shores, and eventually Americans sought it out as a popular vacation spot. Technological advancement, religious fervor, and tranquil relaxation mark this unique location. Legacies, like those of U.S. Presidents James Monroe, William McKinley, and Theodore Roosevelt are forever linked to this impressive waterway. Husband and wife team, Jason Barney and Christine Eldred, local authors and historians, chronicle Lake Champlain's singular role in American history in the next installment of the Hidden History series.
