A year after a costly British repulse at Fort Ticonderoga, on Lake Champlain in eastern New York, General Jeffrey Amherst led a fresh assault against the French position, now held by Chevalier Francois-Charles de Bourlamaque. The French blew up the magazine and withdrew after a brief action. A few days later Amherst also captured Crown Point, ten miles to the north.
