We live only nine miles from Lake George, where we go in the
summer. There are many places of historical interest there. French
Point, where we went last summer, used to be the camping-place of
the French and Indians. I have an arrow-head from there, and a
friend a spear-head. Opposite French Point, is Black Mountain, the
highest mountain on the lake. Farther down is Sabbath-day Point,
and Rogers's Slide, where the Rogers's Rock Hotel is. There you can
take a carriage and go to Fort Ticonderoga. I have seen the oven
and under-ground passage. Mamma has an old-fashioned cup with the
fort on it. Recently, while digging for the foundation of a paper
mill in the village, they found a cannon-ball and several other
things. I almost feel acquainted with the Postmistress and the
children that write to YOUNG PEOPLE.
