Saratoga - one of the turning points of the revolution that no one really knows about.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Of a piece with Saratoga and the final ruination of British strategy to split New York into three was the battle of Oriskeny, fought at the same time as Saratoga along the Mohawk.

General Herkimer managed to stop St Leger from linking up with Burgoyne although he took a bunch of casualties and in fact was mortally wounded himself.

Upstate New York is a wonderful place to explore significant places of the Revolution.
