PRESENTED BY LOCAL HISTORIAN
JOSEPH ROBERTACCIO
On a cold & snowy March morning in 1756 a
strong French raiding party captured & destroyed
a small British Fort on the Oneida Carry (present day Rome, NY).
Come & learn how a careful review of a
French Intelligence Report, the Crown (British) Map collection
of Maps & Modern Geographic Information
systems & Aerial Photography solve the riddle
of where this fort was.
Beyond this, learn how what should have been an
insignificant engagement on the New York Frontier
put into motion an unforeseen chain of events
which will haunt both England & France
for the next 40 years.
