About this title

Synopsis

No inland body of water has played as a decisive role in the history of the Western Hemisphere as has Lake Champlain, and it holds a special position in American naval history as the birthplace of the United States Navy. Within a short span of 65 years three wars were fought on its shores and waters, each leaving its indelible mark on the destiny of North America. Peter S. Palmer (1814-1890) chronicles those years with such detail that his book has been a resource for students of the Lake Champlain history for over a hundred years.
