What followed was one of the most consequential engagements of the French and Indian War — and the first major British battlefield victory of the conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnder French general Jean-Armand, Baron de Dieskau, the ambush caught the approaching British forces in a devastating crossfire. Against all odds, British commander William Johnson rallied his men through the barrage and drove the French north toward Ticonderoga.
