Downloadable pdf. 24 pages.
The poem Ticonderoga first appeared in Scribner's Magazine in December 1887. It was based on a legend about a Highland chief who swore to protect a fleeing man who appeared at his door; he only learned from the ghost of his cousin that he harbored a man who had killed one of his own. A fierce controversy ensued between Clan Campbell and Clan Cameron as to which family the legend belonged. The poem tells a tale of conflicted loyalty, first confronted in the Highlands, with the prophecy of death and revenge fulfilled at Ticonderoga in 1758, when the British attacked Quebec.
