Mt. Defiance was used by the British to set up cannons to bombard Fort Ticonderoga in  1777 which led to the Americans abandoning the fort. 

Description


Mount Defiance (New York)

Mount Defiance is an 853 ft (260 m) high hill on the New York side of Lake Champlain, in the northeastern United States. It is notable in that the hill militarily dominates both Fort Ticonderoga and Mount Independence, but it was deemed inaccessible so never fortified. Mount Defiance was previously known as Sugar Loaf.
