Product Details:

Capture of Fort Ticonderoga by Alonso Chappel depicts Ethan Allen along with the Green Mountain Boys, demanding the surrender of the fort on May 10, 1775. Less than a month after war started, forces led by Colonels Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold advanced on the fort's small garrison. Storming the fort on May 10, they met minimal resistance and quickly captured it. Fort Ticonderoga served as a launching point for the American invasion of Canada in 1775 and its guns were later removed for use in ending the Siege of Boston.
