Skeletal remains of more than a dozen British soldiers who died during the French and Indian War are expected to be returned this year to upstate New York for reburial near their original resting place on a Colonial American battleground. The skeletons originally had been buried outside Fort William Henry between its construction in 1755 and its destruction by the French two years later, a historical event depicted in James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans." Two years ago, fort officials publicly acknowledged for the first time that the skeletons had been taken in the late 1990s by an Arizona State University anthropologist. <http://www.postbulletin.com/news/nation/ny-fort-s-th-century-skeletons-closer-to-return/article_d1f53e7d-3098-54e4-b723-020aee7b6e1b.html> -- Bob Sullivan Schenectady Digital History Archive <http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/> Schenectady County (NY) Public Library
