[FORT WILLIAM AUGUSTUS]. Manuscript document, 1 February 1770. One-page, oblong 8vo (216 x 343 mm), docketed on verso, old folds, few small tears at lower edge, spotting, few stains. A fair copy of a document for bedding and furniture to furnish the barracks at Fort William Augustus. The Fort, originally named Fort Lévis, was a fortification on the St. Lawrence River that was built by the French in 1759 during the Seven Years’ War. The fort surrendered after intense bombardment in August 1760 to the British, who renamed it Fort William Augustus. The fort was abandoned in 1766 and this document refers to the repairs and furnishing needed to make it habitable for the 10th Regiment.
