Or points north: On Lake Champlain both Point au Fer [New York] and
Dutchman's Point [formerly New York, now Vermont] were garrisoned by the

Not just points to the west. Also Oswego and Oswegatchie (Ogdensburg) in
New York.

	This is a good point.

	We tend to forget that the British hung on to various points
along the Great Lakes for quite some time after they were supposed to
give these points to the new United States per the Treaty of Paris
-1783. I believe that Fort Niagara & some of the points to the west were
returned as a result of Jay's Treaty - 1795, during the Washington
administration.

The British did not abandon Fort Niagara (New York Provence/State) until
1796. It was the military base from which the majority of raids into the
Mohawk Valley originated from.
