Description
Manuscript plan showing outside, cross-section and top-view layout of the flour store house at Fort George. Located along the Hudson River at the junction with the Fish Creek River, the fort was later renamed Fort Hardy, which is located in modern day Schuylerville, Saratoga County, New York. Kashnor attributes the map to James Gabriel Montresor, the British engineer, who drew several maps of Fort George in late June 1759.
