Randy Patten poses in front of the Ephraim Williams Jr. memorial on Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2014, in Lake George, N.Y. In the 1990s, businessman Anthony Tomasovic was granted permission to fill in his vacant, sloping property bordering the ravine where British Colonial troops and their Mohawk Indian allies were ambushed by a larger force of French and Indians in 1755. The land borders the wooded ravine where about 1,000 British Colonial troops and 200 of their Mohawk Indian allies were ambushed by a larger force of French and Indians on the morning of Sept. 8, 1755. Patten is convinced many of the scores of casualties from the ambush were buried afterward in the ravine. (AP Photo/Mike Groll)
