- Description:
- The article discusses Fort Wentworth, a fort supposedly built in New Hampshire during the Seven Years' War by British-American forces under Colonel Joseph Blanchard on an expedition sent by New Hampshire Governor Benning Wentworth. The author questions whether the fort was ever built and examines its supposed location on the Connecticut River, identified by author Colonel Chandler E. Potter as at the Upper Coos intervales and by novelist Kenneth Rogers as at Lower Coos intervales at the mouth of the Ammonoosuc River. The article considers an account written by British American Captain Robert Rogers.
