… and Indian War battle site
"Late in the morning on March 26, 1756, French soldiers stealthily approached Fort Bull, with about three dozen Haudenosaunee warriors among their ranks.
In the heated battle that followed, the French cut off the supply line to Fort Oswego, which they would capture later that year. Fort Bull itself — only a year old — erupted in flames.
"It met a very violent end when a powder magazine was accidentally lit on fire and about 6,000 pounds of powder blew, killing about 50 to 60 defenders," explained Brian Grills, project director and battlefield archaeologist with Binghamton University's Public Archaeology Facility (PAF). "The reason for the attack was that the fort is located on the Oneida Carry, which was a very strategic location for military supply chains going from Albany to Fort Oswego. The French decided to cut that supply line off to help protect themselves.".."
