- Description:
- The article discusses a historical controversy surrounding a supposed eighteenth century New Hampshire fort on the Connecticut River called Fort Wentworth. It particularly focuses on a map found on a powderhorn from 1757. The author investigates the claims that the fort was a rendezvous spot for the British-American forces led by Colonel Robert Rogers after their raid on the Quebec Indian village called St. Francis during the Seven Years' War. The views of historians John R. Cuneo and Chandler E. Potter are explored. The New Hampshire towns of Stratford and Northumberland are cited as possible fort locations.
