At Lake Champlain Benedict Arnold stopped the Britishfrom invading the American Colonies from Canada
. Many Americans think of Benedict Arnold as a traitor but at Lake Champlain he was a hero, by stopping the British from invading from the north he prevented the games of Cricket and Rugby from becoming our national sports. Our victory at Lake Champlain assured that the American games of Baseball and Football would become as American as Apple pie and Chevrolet. (It also screwed us out of the Enfield Rifle
from being our nation rifle)
Unfortunately in the end this didn’t stop the Canadians from illegally sneaking that silly game of hockey across the border into the “Colonies”.
Benedict Arnold stopped the British at Lake Champlain and at the lake below me we stopped and soundly defeated the Russians in their worst defeat in modern history.
The mountain might be little known but the lake below it is world famous.
