The natives, spurred on by French rewards …
Years: 1757 - 1757
June
The natives, spurred on by French rewards of brandy, guns, ammunition, and clothing, have sortied on raiding parties from Fort Carillon south towards Fort William Henry throughout the spring and early summer, kidnapping and scalping anyone who dared venture beyond the protective walls of the fort.
Monro can do little to respond to the native raids or gain intelligence on French movements until sufficient reinforcements arrive.
He also moves slowly to re-construct the buildings and boats destroyed by the French months earlier.
Reinforcements finally arrive in June when Provincial and militia units from New York, New Jersey and New Hampshire are sent up from Fort Edward by General Daniel Webb.
Desperate for information and now newly reinforced, Monro decides to act.
