We recently welcomed veterans of the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) and the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada to Fort Ticonderoga to explore the site’s long connection with the oldest Highland regiment of the British Army. From examining documents and artifacts of the Black Watch in our collection and to commemorating the regiment on the Carillon Battlefield, Ticonderoga is proud to steward this shared legacy of service that spans centuries, continents, and nations.

On this Trades Tuesday we are recycling cloth from regimental coats for stoppers for the muskets of our 26th Regiment of Foot portrayal. British military writer, Thoms Simes noted that, “A foraging cap and stopper to be made up, conformable to pattern ones, out of a part of the old coat,” in his 1777,“A Military Course for the Government and Conduct of a Battalion...” These rolled up cloth plugs were nothing new in 1777, with stoppers appearing in images and orders back to the 1750s November 7, 1754 Regimental Orders for the Foot Guards order the guardsmen to each have, “a stopper all of blue cloth.” Stoppers served to keep moisture out of the barrel of the musket, helping preserve the weapon in service. See these stoppers as we recreate the last days and hours of the British guard of Fort Ticonderoga in REAL TIME REVOLUTION 1775 daily programs and the No Quarter Reenactment May 9-11, 2025

"it will not be possible to reinstate any legal Authority in the County, without assistance from the military Power"
#OTD in 1775 settlers in Cumberland County in the New Hampshire Grants had effectively blocked New York officials from exercising control over the region.
New York`s Lieutenant Governor, Cadwallader Colden pleaded with General Thomas Gage, requesting that "If any Troops can be spared from Quebec, I think it would be for his Majesty’s Service,... to march from Crown Point, and Fort Edward... into Cumberland. That they be directed to search for and apprehend particular Persons,... who have been the ringleaders in the late Outrages."
Beyond the use of troops to enforce New York`s supremacy in the New Hampshire Grants, Colden reminded Gage that "I am of Opinion that a Body of Troops so near the Borders of Massachusetts Bay, may be very effectually employed in executing the coercive Measures which seem unavoidable for bringing the eastern Colonies submission to Great Britain."
By the time Gage received Colden`s letter, war had erupted at Lexington and Concord. Learn more about the rising tensions that lead New York officials to dramatic measures in the spring of 1775 on our website:
