Excerpt from The Burial of Lord Viscount Howe: Killed in the French and Indian War, July 6, 1758, At Trout Brook, Ticonderoga, N. Y., A Monograph This paper was originally read at the Columbian celebration of July 4, 1892, at the "old French lines" in Ticonderoga, when, on motion of the Rev. Joseph Cook, a copy was requested for publication. It was subsequently revised and enlarged and, on invitation, read before the Albany Institute in the city of Albany on January 3, 1893, when, on motion of Hon. Judge Van Alstyne, it was unanimously resolved, "That the thanks of the Institute be and are hereby given to Prof. E. J. Owen for his able and interesting paper on the burial place of Lord Howe." In accordance with the request of many friends, who are interested in the subject matter of the paper, the writer has been induced to publish the same, trusting that the arguments thus presented may convince the reader that the remains of Lord Howe were in fact buried on the battle-field in the present village of Ticonderoga and not at Albany. The writer desires to express his obligations for valuable suggestions and personal favors to Mr. D. Turner, of Washington, D. C., and John C. Fenton, Esq., of Ticonderoga, N. Y.
