‘ Fort William Henry ’ s Moments in Time ’
Author Joseph W . Zarzynski , maritime archeologist and author , presents his book , Fort William Henry ’ s Moments in Time , co-sponsored by Washington County Historical Society and Washington County 250th at the Greenwich Free Library , 148 Main St . in Greenwich , NY on April 23 at 6:30pm . Lake George ’ s Fort William Henry is known to Americans as a French & Indian War ( 1755-1763 ) fortress that was destroyed in August 1757 . The British outpost , erected in 1755 , fell to the French and the Indigenous allies after a siege of several days . That seminal event was immortalized in the 1826 novel , The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper . Zarzynski will present a program sharing informative stories about Fort William Henry and its grounds . The talk is based upon his book Fort William Henry ’ s Moments in Time . Most of the book ’ s chapters are gleaned from the author ’ s columns in the Lake George Mirror newspaper . This is his 8th book . The author will have copies of this book available for sale and to sign ( check or cash ). For more , visit greenwichfreelibrary . com .
