var str = 'David Johnson was a second-generation school of the Hudson River School who studied with Jasper Francis Cropsey and was friends with his contemporaries John Frederick Kensett and John William Casilear. This is one of several paintings Johnson made of Lack George, which was a popular subject due to its spectacular setting, constantly changing weather, and relative ease of access. Here, we are looking through a narrow passage between the Harbor Islands towards the Tongue Mountain Range, specifically Brown Mountain and its distinctive cliffs. A light rain falls upon the water, from a squall either approaching or having passed.';

The full title of this map is <em>A Survey of Lake Champlain, including Lake George, Crown Point and St. John. Surveyed by Order of His Excellency Major-General Sr. Jeffery Amherst, Knight of the most Honble. Order of the Bath, Commander in Chief of His Majesty's Forces in North America, (now Lord Amherst) by William Brassier, Draughtsman. (with) A Particular Plan of Lake George. Surveyed in 1756. By Capt. Jackson. London: Printed for Robt. Sayer & Jno. Bennett ... Augst. 5th 1776. </em><br /><br />The two dates here are important: the first locates Capt. Jackson's surveys amidst the French and Indian Wars, when England and its rival France were battling for territorial control of North America; the second date, of course, locates publication of the map during the American Revolution.<br /><br />The Champlain Valley and its waterways were a critical transportation route, and accurate knowledge of its terrain and strategic points was important military intelligence. Much of that is encoded literally on the terrain here. This map was one of six in a small hand atlas designed for British officers and as such was dubbed the "Holster Atlas" for its use in the field.
