Although aimed at those interested in the 35th regiment of foot, as this list would only consist of about half a dozen entries, a secondary list is/will be included of the more important/personally known sites. Hopefully this will be added to by American friends/visitors to this web site.

A CAUTIONARY TALE FOR EUROPEANS
It's well worth pointing out that AMERICA is BIG and those wonderful places you see on the maps that appear close, may in actual fact be a complete days journey away. Having said that America is built for the traveller, good roads, reliable public transport (The universal Greyhound buses, and in the East Robin Hood coaches to name but two.) and reasonably priced eating establishments almost everywhere make travel a relatively enjoyable experience.

Fort Edward NY
Although the actual fort no longer exists for the true enthusiast (especially as it is only a few miles from Fort William Henry) Fort Edward is still worth a visit. Nearby is "Roger's Island" the site of an original encampment by that famous Ranger and his men. Both Fort Edward and Roger's Island are under ongoing Archaeological investigations. When these Archaeological digs are being organized participation may be arranged, for information on this please E-mail-- JoAnne Fuller on--- tour@earthlink.net. Other info on Fort Edward may be obtained from the following web site-- http://www.adirondack.net/towns/FortEdward/index.html

Fort William Henry

We would like to thank Mohican Press for allowing us to use the two above photos, taken of the present day replica, Fort William Henry
Their site is http://www.mohicanpress.com/mohican2.html

Although the original Fort William Henry is long gone, amongst the undoubted tourist spot is a replica fort complete with demonstrations of period life and the events surrounding the siege and surrender. The complex situated on picturesque Lake George also has hotels, conference facilities and catering. Fort William Henry lies practically mid way between New York and Montreal and is ideally suited as both resting place and place of historic significance, for travellers between these two cities.

Canada
Louisbourg.
Anyone willing to travel a little off the beaten track to Cape Breton Island Canada, to visit the Fortress of Louisbourg,is in for a treat. Following rebuilding after its capture by the British it has remained virtually untouched by the encroaches of modernization, the result for the visitor, is a real step back in time. The Fortress of Louisbourg is now a Canadian National Historical Site and managed by the Louisbourg Institute who regularly invite "living history groups" to participate with the fortresses own period groups in large scale encampments. It is therefore a must for anyone who either wants to see an unspoilt 18th century Fortress or see and learn from true living history enthusiasts.

WE ARE INDEBTED TO Mr Bill O'Shea, Head, Historical Resources, Fortress of Louisbourg, National Historic Site for allowing us to use the above photographs. As can be seen the site is well worth the visit. Further information regarding Louisbourg Institute and the fortress can be obtained from http://fortress.uccb.ns.ca . The Fortress of Louisbourg is naturally high on the agenda of any future tour by the re-created 35th Regiment of Foot.

The city of Quebec provided something of a Grand finale (except for the campaign to win Montreal) for the War for New France and must of course be something Mecca for anyone interested in the French and Indian War. Much of the battlefield--The Plains of Abraham though beautified remains as it was at the time of the battle, the site has a joint monument to both Marquis Montcalm and General Wolfe.Marquis de Montcalm is buried under the Chapelle des ursulines in the old town 12 rue Donnacona C.P. 760 Québec G1R 4T1 (418) 694-0694 FAX: (418) 694-2136.
For the tourist, as visiting Quebec is concerned, one can only say it is UNIQUE. Quebec is after all the Only fortified city on the North American continent and has managed to maintain a great deal of its charming French character. Wonderful buildings abound many of which are home to equally wonderful food
