Les Troupes de la Pointe a la Chevelure Les Troupes de la Pointe a la Chevelure are a group of reenactors portraying Canadian Milice who set Frédéric on the west side of the lake.

Les Troupes de la Pointe a la Chevelure are a group of reenactors portraying Canadian Milice in the French and Indian War. We are members of The Ethan Allen Long Ri**es, whose mission is to raise public awareness of history in early colonial America, through education, demonstration, and recreation and reenactments. In 1731, the French occupied the area, first building a stockade fort on the bluff at Pointe-à-la-Chevelure, today’s Chimney Point. In 1734 or 1735, they began construction on the stone Fort St. At first both sides were considered part of a single royal domaine with Louis XV as seigneur.[9]

In 1743, Gilles Hocquart, Intendant of New France, was granted a seigneurie of approximately 115,000 acres (47,000 ha) on the east shore of the lake, much of today’s Addison County, Vermont. French settlement on Lake Champlain was both military and agricultural with farms on both sides of the lake. The population of settlers at Pointe-à-la-Chevelure peaked at the beginning of the French and Indian War (1754–1763), at approximately 150 with 21 houses on the east side of the lake and 19 on the west.
