M.S gunboat ---.
{157} He fought at Culloden, of course for King George, and was
appealed to for protection by old Glengarry.
{158a} Fox's hole.
{158b} How did Inverawe get leave to wear the Highland dress?
{160} In every version of the story that I have heard or read
Ticonderoga is called St. Louis, and Inverawe was ignorant of its
other name. Yet in all the histories of the war that I have seen, the
only name given to the place is Ticonderoga. There is no mention of
its having a French name. Even if Inverawe knew the fort they were to
storm was called Ticonderoga, he cannot have known it when the ghost
appeared to him in Scotland. At that time there was not even a fort
at Ticonderoga, as the French only erected it in 1756. Inverawe had
told his story to friends in Scotland before the war broke out in
America, so even if in 1758 he did know the real name of the fort that
the expedition was directed against, I don't see that it lessens the
interest of the story.--E. A. C.
The French really called the place Fort Carillon, which disguised the
native name Ticonderoga.
