Another Revolutionary war event comes to mind but I can’t recall any names.
A British army advanced south from Canada or upstate NY via a wilderness road and was continuously bushwacked by Indians in alliance with colonial operators.
The brits were bogged down by their huge baggage train and families in tow.
Gen. John Burgoyne?
You’re thinking of Gen. Burgoyne, which was a major operation 1777, or Carleton 1776, trying to pursue Arnold & co. after Quebec’s failure. That included stalling tactics by Ben. Arnold such as at Valcour Island on the Hudson, and Burgoyne’s ended at so-called Saratoga.
