Product Details:

"Abercrombie's Expedition to Ticonderoga" by Frederick Coffay Yohn portrays a key moment from the French and Indian War (1754–1763), specifically General James Abercrombie's ill-fated expedition against the French-held Fort Carillon (later renamed Fort Ticonderoga) in July 1758. Despite their superior numbers, the British suffered a devastating defeat on July 8, 1758, due to poor planning and strong French fortifications under the command of General Louis-Joseph de Montcalm. The painting captures the determination of the British forces as they embarked on their mission, unaware of the disastrous outcome awaiting them.
