Note: An incident of deliberate infection of Native Americans with smallpox referred to in this video is incorrect. The incident to which the video refers occurred at Fort Pitt under Captain Simeon Ecuyer. General Jeffery Amherst never himself deliberately infected any Indians with smallpox blankets at Fort Ticonderoga. Moreover, the evidence that any successful epidemic resulted from this incident is very much in question by historians.
