Diary of Captain Samuel Jenks, Monday, June 16, 1760

Decampt early this morning, & arivd at Crownpoint; landed above the fort, & incampt. This day it raind & thundred prety much in ye forenoon. Went to view the works, which I think, when finished, may be justly stild the strongest place the English has on the continent. Here, I' bleive, is our station for this campeign, for there is an immense sight of work to be done before these forts are compleated.
