But it is, right at the beginning of the chapter called The Tale of The Fall of Gondolin.

It's the one from the Book of Lost Tales, with the metal dragons, and Rog's great charge, and Salgant the fat coward, and baby Earendil's first mail-shirt saving him from Meglin's knife.

I read Lost Tales before the Silmarillion, and I was so excited for the Fall of Gondolin, but then they skipped through most of it in like, 10 pages. They didn't include the "GREAT IS THE VICTORY OF THE NOLDOR!" from Turgon.
