Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Saratoga and the Burgoyne Campaign: A Brief Sketch of the Early History of the Famous Hunting Grounds and the Campaign Which Ended in the Surrender of the British Army, at Saratoga, October 17, 1777, With Concise Descriptions of the Principal Places Connected With the Surrender "One of the few immortal names that were not born to die." This is not to be confounded with the modern watering place, which takes its name from the old locality, several miles removed from its medicinal waters, charming pleasure resorts and gay society. The old Indian hunters' paradise lay along the Hudson river, for a distance of twenty or thirty miles northerly from what is now Mechauicville, with wooded slopes on either side, extending back from the rich bottom lands along the stream. To these famous hunting and fishing grounds from the earliest days, came the Indian sportsmen, for the pleasures and profits of the chase. It was variously known as Sar-ach-to-goe, Och-ser-a-tou-gue, Och-sech-ra-ge and otherwise, to its ancient proprietors. The earliest white visitors found it in possession of the Maquaes, or Mohawks, the fiercest of the famous Iroquois, or six nations, who had driven out the Mahicanders, or Mohicans, its former owners. Toward the northern part of this territory, Fish Creek, the outlet of the present Lake Saratoga, joined the Hudson. July 26, 1683, certain Mohawk Sachems deeded to Cornelius Van Dyk, Jan Jausen Bleeker. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book No Turning Point written by Theodore Corbett and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle of Saratoga in 1777 ended with British general John Burgoyne’s troops surrendering to the American rebel army commanded by General Horatio Gates. Historians have long seen Burgoyne’s defeat as a turning point in the American Revolution because it convinced France to join the war on the side of the colonies, thus ensuring American victory. But that traditional view of Saratoga overlooks the complexity of the situation on the ground. Setting the battle in its social and political context, Theodore Corbett examines Saratoga and its aftermath as part of ongoing conflicts among the settlers of the Hudson and Champlain valleys of New York, Canada, and Vermont. This long, more local view reveals that the American victory actually resolved very little. In transcending traditional military history, Corbett examines the roles not only of enlisted Patriot and Redcoat soldiers but also of landowners, tenant farmers, townspeople, American Indians, Loyalists, and African Americans. He begins the story in the 1760s, when the first large influx of white settlers arrived in the New York and New England backcountry. Ethnic and religious strife marked relations among the colonists from the outset. Conflicting claims issued by New York and New Hampshire to the area that eventually became Vermont turned the skirmishes into a veritable civil war. These pre-Revolution conflicts—which determined allegiances during the Revolution—were not affected by the military outcome of the Battle of Saratoga. After Burgoyne’s defeat, the British retained control of the upper Hudson-Champlain valley and mobilized Loyalists and Native allies to continue successful raids there even after the Revolution. The civil strife among the colonists continued into the 1780s, as the American victory gave way to violent strife amounting to class warfare. Corbett ends his story with conflicts over debt in Vermont, New Hampshire, and finally Massachusetts, where the sack of Stockbridge—part of Shays’s Rebellion in 1787—was the last of the civil disruptions that had roiled the landscape for the previous twenty years. No Turning Point complicates and enriches our understanding of the difficult birth of the United States as a nation.

Book excerpt: The Grand Strategy, the imaginative plan to divide the rebellious American colonies, ended in disaster. On October 17, 1777, General Sir John Burgoyne, alone, unaided and stranded in the American wilderness, capitulated with his army at Saratoga in upper New York State. It was the ‘turning point’ of the Revolution, which culminated four years later in the British surrender at Yorktown. Creasy wrote of Saratoga: ‘Nor can any military event be said to have exercised more important influence upon the future fortunes of mankind...’ Who blundered? For nearly two centuries, Lord George Germain, the ‘maladroit’ minister, has been blamed, together with the Commander-in-Chief, Sir William Howe; but Burgoyne, ‘Gentleman Johnny’ as his affectionate troops called him, has largely escaped criticism. Only in the late 1960s had a full assessment become possible, by the publication of all the correspondence that passed between these men. Originally published in 1971, from his study of these letters, and by his visit to the campaign area, author Rupert Furneaux questions this long accepted view. The British disaster resulted, he says, not because anyone particularly blundered, or from any ‘pigeon-holed’ despatch, but rather because no one bargained that thousands of ordinary American citizens would rally to bar Burgoyne’s path. Experienced frontier-fighters and skilled marksmen, they mowed down the closely-ranked Redcoats and the German mercenaries, who had all been trained for European battles. Saratoga heralded a new age of warfare, which Europeans took another hundred years to learn. It was also far more than a British defeat; it was an American victory, the decisive battle whereby they won the right to run their own lives without interference from Europe – and with incalculable consequences.
