Montcalm Trying To Stop The Massacre

Engraving shows French general Marquis Louis Montcalm (1712 - 1759) as he attempts to prevent Indians allied to the French from massacring unarmed British soldiers and their families during their withdrawal from Fort William Henry on Lake George in New York during the Franch & Indian War, August 10, 1757. While the story of the slaughter was widely circulated at the time with upwards of 1,500 unarmed persons reported killed it is more likely that no such massacre took place and most of the few hundred killed died in battle before the surrender.
