The French Indian War
The middle photo is of the Tower at Fort William Henry, one of the forts where battles took place during the French and Indian Wars, and the photos on the left and right of the tower, are of Fort Ticonderoga in the late 1800s before the reconstruction. This fortress changed hands many times in the course of its useful life. It was blown up by the French, abandoned by the British and allowed to molder away to ruin by the Americans. The magnificent (and sometimes controversial) reconstruction we now know as Ticonderoga is a reconstruction created during the early years of the 20th Century.

Uniform of the French Indian War:
Just to picture an average American Infantryman in the mid to late war he would probably have a Jacket, Rifleman's shirt or Work Smock, Waistcoat, Shirt, Overalls, Shoes and Snap Brim or Cocked hat. He would be equipped with a Musket, have a Cartridge Box, Sling, or Belly Box on a belt, have a Bayonet and an axe on a baldric suspension. He would have a Knapsack slung high, as well as a tin or wooden canteen. He might have a knapsack of either pattern and within this, in addition to his blanket, extra shirt, stockings, and sundries, might be a Regimental Coat. A tin cup and perhaps a pot would be fastened to his gear somewhere. In cold weather, he would wear the Regimental coat over everything and add mittens. He could have either the Half gaitors or wool leggings.

Shadrack Dodge, b. 15 Aug 1762, Brookfield, Worcester Co., Massachusetts; Some records have name as Shadrick.
"By N. H. State Papers, vol 15, p. 7, we learn that Shadrack Dodge was private of 2nd Co. in Col. Ashley's regiment of milita which marched from Westmoreland, Chesterfield and Hinsdale to Ticonderoga on alarm 8 May 1777. In vol. 6, p. 23, it appears that he enlisted for 8 months on 6 June 1777 and was discharged 10 January 1778. On pages 633 and 648 we find he enlisted 7 July 1779, for one year from Westmoreland, N. H. and had a bounty of L60. Waitstill Scott was captain of his company." Tradition says he served five years. His grandson, Frederick A. Dodge says he was wounded in the hand and was a pensioner.
