General George Washington considered West Point to be the most important strategic position in America. Washington personally selected Thaddeus Kosciuszko, one of the heroes of Saratoga, to design the fortifications for West Point in l778, and Washington transferred his headquarters to West Point in l779. Continental soldiers built forts, batteries and redoubts and extended a l50-ton iron chain across the Hudson to control river traffic. Fortress West Point was never captured by the British, despite Benedict Arnold's treason. West Point is the oldest continuously occupied military post in America. (From the West Point Web Site)
Mt Kosciuszko is best accessed via the Alpine Way, which leads off the Snowy Mountains Highway, south from Tumut or west from Cooma. On foot, there are numerous tracks to Kosciuszko. The best walking tracks lead from Thredbo and Charlotte Pass.
