In the 6th and final episode of the French and Indian War series, we explore the last stand of New France at Ile aux Noix, where the final significant defense of New France before her demise took place. Ile aux Noix is an island on the Richelieu River just 12 miles north of the outlet of Lake Champlain. The episode will also explore the Battle of Point au Fer as well as the Surrender of Montreal.

In this episode, we discuss the immediate fallout of the failed attempt of the British to take Fort Carillon in 1758, and cover the following year, 1759, which sees Amherst and the British finally take control of Fort Ticonderoga and Crown Point. This episode will also cover the St. Francis Raid by Robert Rogers and the Rangers and discuss the legacy from both the British and Abenaki perspective.

In this episode we discuss Montcalm's miracle, how the French force of 3,500 defeated a British force of almost 17,000 in the biggest military upset in North American history. The Battle of Carillon, or Ticonderoga, is one of the most notorious battles of the French and Indian War and made the Marquis de Montcalm a hero, while ruining the reputation of Abercromby. The Battle of Carillon was the bloodiest battle on American soil prior to the Civil War with almost 3,000 casualties.
