notes:
Fort Oswego was first built by the English in 1722, strengthened and enlarged in 1755 by General Shirley, and played a prominent role in the French and Indian War when the French army under the command of General Montcalm marched from Fort Carillon (Fort Ticonderoga) to Fort Oswego. The British withdrew their soldiers from Fort Ontario on the opposite and west side of the Oswego River to Fort Oswego on the east side. The English surrendered after a brief battle on August 15, 1756; the British defeat caused the Seneca and the Oneida to ally themselves with the French and other tribes to maintain neutrality.
