The Battle of Ticonderoga on July 5 and July 6, 1777 was more a battle of maneuver than a direct conflict in the American Revolutionary War.
The withdrawal from Ticonderoga was hurried, but was a part of the American defensive strategy adopted by General Schuyler in response to the British Saratoga Campaign.
The first Battle of Fort Ticonderoga was fought on July 7-8, 1758, during the French and Indian War.

The battle is also the site of a legend of a Scotman who was cursed to die at Ticonderoga, a name that he had not heard until the battle.
