📰 News we're reading

• Fort William Henry's 1950s Ox Team (newyorkalmanack.com) — Two oxen bought to promote Lake George’s replica Fort William Henry in 1954 also helped build it, hauling materials along the ramparts. Their work echoed the animals’ colonial role moving supplies along the military road from Fort Edward to Lake George, when endurance made oxen valuable despite their slow pace.
