Manuscript map showing the plan, outer view and cross section of barracks 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. The fireplaces and brickwork are depicted in red ink. Kashnor attributes the map to James Gabriel Montresor, the British engineer, who drew several maps of Fort George in late June 1759.
