Publisher's Synopsis
Peter Sailly Palmer's History of Lake Champlain is a meticulously researched and engagingly written account of the region's colonial and Revolutionary War-era history. Palmer was a lawyer, politician, and amateur historian who drew on his own extensive research, as well as the work of earlier historians, to create a comprehensive narrative of the lake's importance in the wider context of American history. The book covers topics ranging from Samuel de Champlain's first encounters with Native Americans in the region to Benedict Arnold's ill-fated naval battles during the Revolutionary War.
