The Fort Ticonderoga library contains over 13,000 volumes focusing on the military history of northeastern North America and New France during the eighteenth century. The library’s cornerstone collection is that of the nineteenth century military historian and author William L. Stone. 

These books were Stone’s personal copies of the major historical works, which influenced generations of scholarship on the War for American Independence. Many of Stone’s books are rich with his personal annotations and tipped-in collections of correspondence and supporting documentation.
