Fort Ticonderoga was a British fort in northern New York. It had a large number of cannons, but it was not well defended. So, a Massachusetts militia led by Benedict Arnold went to capture it. On the way, the militia joined forces with Colonel Ethan Allen. Allen led the Green Mountain Boys, another militia from present-day Vermont. Before dawn on May 10, 1775, the two militias quietly crossed the lake near the fort. They found the fort defended by fewer than 50 soldiers. The British were completely surprised, and the soldiers at the fort quickly surrendered. The Patriots did not even fire a single shot. But they won an important prize: a collection of British cannons!
