Honor Roll: Town of Bolton Veterans' Memorial

The Town of Bolton was formed in 1799. It is situated in the Adirondack mountains in Warren County, along the west shore of Lake George. During the Gilded Age the shoreline of Bolton and south to Village of Lake George was called Millionaires Row as many wealthy vacationers built mansions and hotels there. Within the town Bolton Landing, a hamlet, and at the intersection of Horicon Avenue and Lake Shore Drive, in front of the Bolton Community Church is a small memorial park that contains two honor roll memorials.

Bolton Veterans' Memorial

Stanza Three of the Charge of the Light Brigade
Written in 1854

Cannon to the right of them,
Cannon to the left of them,
Cannon in front of them.
Volley'd and thunder'd
Storm'd at with shot and shell.
Boldly they rode and well
Into the jaws of death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the Six Hundred

Alfred, Lord Tennyson
