The May 10, 1775 capture of Fort Ticonderoga, not only placed the Fort and its military stores in American hands, it upended the entire surrounding community. Two months earlier neighbors came to Ticonderoga as British subjects, to trade and talk at the market. Soon settlers would choose sides and whether to remain or leave as Ticonderoga became the seat of the Revolutionary War in the north.

On this Trades Tuesday consider that shoe repair transcended war and peace in the British Army. For the shoemakers among each company of British soldiers, their work fixing the soles and heels of their comrades` shoes only became more urgent after the Revolutionary War reached Ticonderoga on May 10, 1775. Whether comfortably stitching inside Fort Ticonderoga`s barracks or in the brief pauses of a forced march, this work went on.

As tensions were running high in Massachusetts General Thomas Gage informed Guy Carleton #OTD in 1775 that "His Majesty has judged it proper to have a Fort at Crown Point."
The mighty fortress there burned accidentally in 1773, and deciding whether to rebuild it or nearby Ticonderoga took until the end of 1774 when both were ordered to be reconstructed. Any new fort would not be as substantial as the last, and Gage cautioned that "There is no Occasion. I presume. to think of one so considerable. as the Former. but to have a place. of Strength there."
Gage ended his note by telling Carleton that the revolutionaries in Massachusetts "try all Methods to drive the People into every kind of Extravagance and Madness." War was on the horizon and repairs to Crown Point were never completed.
