July 8th Battle of Ticonderoga
July 12th --- 2,400 french marines and 450 Indian (Iroquois, Abenaki, Huron, Ottawa, Nipissing, Mississauga, and other tribes) arrive at Carillion under Captain Rigaud de Vaudreuil (Governor's brother). Montcalm views these re-enforcements as more of a supply problem than as an asset. He has to feed them from his already scant resources.
July 12th French at Ticonderoga - 3,528 regulars, 2,671 marines and militia, and 470 Indians.
July 31st - French at Ticonderoga - 3,528 regulars, 1,112 marines and 2,108 militia plus indians, but the number of indians steadily declining. From mid-July to late July, Montcalm having severe problems with managing the Indian allies, relations between the Indians and Montcalm are bad.
Late July - Early August - Three large french marine/militia and Indian raiding parties with some french regular volunteers target the British around Lake George and Fort Edward, particularly the Fort Edward Road leading to Lake Road and the Road from Fort Edward to the South Bay of Lake Champlain.
August 3rd -- Montcalm learns of the fall of Louisbourg, Nova Scotia (July 27th) . The St. Lawrence River is now open to the British navy to sail to Quebec City.
Mid-August - 500 militia have returned to Canada for the harvest. Only 76 Indian remain - 42 Mississauga, 19 Abenaki, 9 Iroquois, 4 Nipissing, and 2 Micmacs.
September 6th - Montcalm learns that Colonel Bradstreet utilizing a largely American colonial force has captured and burnt Fort Frontenac on the Upper St. Lawrence River at Lake Ontario (August 24). Fort Frontenac is the large, well stocked supply center for the French forts on Lake Ontario and in the Ohio River Valley .
Early September Montcalm scuttles between Carillon and Quebec City to confer with Governor. French worried that Bradstreet will move on the weakly defended Fort Niagara or march on Montreal. Bradstreet doesn't advance and retreats back to the Mohawk valley. Montcalm returns to Carillon.
First Week of November - After careful scouting to ensure that the British have gone to Winter Quarters, the French regular battalions leave Fort Carillon and head to winter quarters in Quebec City and Montreal. 400 troops under Captain d'Hebecourt of the La Reine form the winter garrison at Carillon.
