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. Flonto 09:24, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * 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 (Trip Johnson (talk) 19:01, 3 April 2008 (UTC))

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? Nerdygeek101 (talk) 21:44, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
