Here took place the first hostile encounter between the French and the Iroquois. The French were the aggressors, and had bitter enough cause to remember the fact throughout the century. In 1666 the Sieur de la Motte built a fort on Ile La Motte, which was afterwards abandoned. Fort St. Frederic was built at Crown Point, 1731. It was enlarged and strengthened in 1734, and again in 1742. Lake Champlain became the war thoroughfare, not merely between the Iroquois and French, but between New France and New England. Fort Carillon was built, 1755-1756. With this lake are associated the names of Dieskau and Sir William Johnson, Montcalm and Abercrombie, Ethan Allen and Montgomery. =Index=: =F= Champlain reaches, in his expedition against the Iroquois, 9, 10. =Hd= Canada to be attacked by way of, 34; trouble among the settlers on, 89, 197; guarding against invasion from, 125, 133, 134; Major Carleton on, 149; messengers intercepted on, 129; forts captured by Ethan Allen, 198; Vermont negotiations held upon, 204; fear of rebel approach by, 208, 216; Ethan Allen offers to meet Haldimand upon, 214; Loyalists on shores of, 250. =WM= Montcalm at, 32, 34; 54-61; forts on, evacuated by Bourlamaque, 146. =Dr= Armed craft on, captured, 82; Americans evacuate Canada by way of, 146; route of attack on New England, 147; Carleton builds a fleet on, 149; description of the lake, 153; Carleton defeats Arnold on, 154-157. =Ch= Encounter with Iroquois at southern extremity of, 53. =Bib.=: Parkman, _Montcalm and Wolfe_; Crockett, _History of Lake Champlain_; Smith, _Our Struggle for the Fourteenth Colony_; Reid, _Lake George and Lake Champlain_; Palmer, _History of Lake Champlain_. _See_ bib. note in Crockett. =Chandler, Edward Barron= (1800-1880).
