Resumen del Editor

An exciting adventure series set during the French and Indian War.

Ticonderoga tells the story of Captain William Taylor and his Mohawk scout Degadawidah who are charged to escort Captain Carlton Campbell of the 42nd Highlanders through the dangerous lands of the Huron to Fort Edward, where the British are making plans to march on the French held Ticonderoga. On the journey they meet young orphan Adam Cobbs who receives a baptism by fire in the harsh and bloody wilderness of New York State.

With drums beating and bagpipes wailing, Ticonderoga is a musket blasting adventure on the epic scale that The Colonial Radio Theatre has become known for.

Very dramatic keeps you on the edge of your seat never a dull moment.Well written and performed by the whole cast.

Loved it!

Can't wait to listen to the sequels!!!!! My favorite CRT program and I own nearly all of them! A great way to introduce your kids or yourself to a critical time in American colonial history

The French and Indian War comes alive!

If you could sum up Ticonderoga in three words, what would they be?

Lock, Stock, and Barrel. Ticonderoga is a perfect introduction to the French & Indian War.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ticonderoga?

One of the most memorable moments in Ticonderoga is when the boy Adam realizes what is in the well, and how it effects his life. And how lucky he is to be in the company of men who understand. Brilliantly done CRT.

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

Captain William Taylor performed by Jerry Robbins is my favorite. I can most identify with the character's leadership and how he handles situations and men. I'm a former military man and Mr. Robbins did a thorough and realistic job of portraying his character.

If you could rename Ticonderoga, what would you call it?

Woods Dark and Furious.

Any additional comments?

This CRT production has a high replay factor. Excellent for long trips, either in the car or on foot.

Loved it!

Great Story, Great Performances, I enjoyed this more than any other Audible title. And the price is fantastic!

Absolutely Amazing!

What an incredible series; you simply cannot go wrong with these wonderfully engaging stories that feature suspense, high adventure, & human drama.
And a little bit of humor as well.
For the history enthusiast or just a lover of great adventure, Ticonderoga delivers one extremely enjoyable listening experience.

Just as good as Powder River

This is a story about the colonial times. some of events mentioned are actually factual, but the story is obviously fictional. the four characters are a good mixture to the story. there is humor but yet seriousness to the story. you will enjoy it!

A+++++++

If you like Colonial Radio Theater this is the best! If you like adventure and excitement with history thrown in then this is for you. Love it

Absolutely Awsome! couldn't stop listening!

I was listening on imagination theater, couldn't wait for the next monthly show so i bought the e-book ! better than any television or radio show I can think of ! I've listened twice consecutively, now have to try to find an equal . I do warn , extremely realistic fight scenes - sounds ( FYI )

Entertaining

Good storyline based on early Americans battle for freedom. Actors by & large did a good job.

Excellent! But brutally graphic at times!

What a dramatization! It brings history to life. The French and Indian Wars, the awful reality of Indian attacks, the dread of battle. I felt like I was right there on the battlefield in Chapter 15! This is so well done! If you enjoy history, treat yourself to this. Experience another place and time. This is right up there with “Powder River”! Excellent! One serious suggestion though, as much as I enjoyed this, I was taken aback at the raw brutality at times. Very graphic! For this reason I would not recommend this dramatization for children.
