From a newspaper clipping Barry found in a book he was
reading on Oliver Wiswell:

LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. Archaeologist have found proof of a war crime 200 years old in the remains of Fort William
Henry near here.
The scientists, who have been digging into the fort to restore it for the public,have comeacross the charred bones of two British soldiers in the barraks cellar.
According to the archaeologists, the french and Indians massacred the soldiers in 1757, then piled them in one of the barracks and set fire to the building.
The bodies are two of the historic finds in the reconstruction project. Workers also have dug up axes, trench shovels, shell fragments, cannon balls, a hatchet used by Rogers' Rangers, and a musket bayonet in perfect condition.
They found a cuff link just a few inches under the British officers' quarters. On it was engraved a shipin full sail and the words, "God Bless the British Fleet."
Part of Fort Henry is already open to the public. Cannon
have been mounted just where they were in 1755, when the fort was built, two years before the massacre.
