It was a typical mid-September day at Lake George, New York. Much like a Georgia O’Keeffe painting, the surrounding hillsides were aglow in goldenrod, apricot, and crimson colors.
A few hours later on September 17, 1967, the evening skies over Fort William Henry were again awash in pastel hues. Bright flashes of yellow and orange lit up the head of the lake as the replica wooden fortification burned. It was the second time in 210 years that Fort William Henry had been deliberately put to the torch.
