Fort Carillonとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Fort Carillon was constructed by Pierre de Rigaud de Vaudreuil, Governor of Canada, to protect Lake Champlain from a British invasion. The fort was not far from Fort Saint Frédéric. It was built to prevent an attack on Canada and slow the advance of the enemy long enough to send reinforcements. Preoccupied by the fact that Fort Saint Frédéric was incapable of resisting a constant threat by the English to the south, Michel Chartier de Lotbinière began construction of fort Carillon in a place where Lake George (prior Lake St. Sacrement) joins Lake Champlain by a river called La Chute. The construction of the fort began in October 1755.
