Bennington was the biggest militia action of the entire Revolution ..... Burgoyne won, but it sure put a limp in his swagger, and he promptly lost the whole campaign at Oriskany a few days later.

Maybe Burgoyne shouldn't have screwed with 'em at Bennington.

Burgoyne won???????

I wonder what NH General Stark, VT General Ethan Allen, and all the NH and VT volunteers who slaughtered the Hessians and Brits at the Battle of Bennington (actually fought on a hill in NY), would think of this revelation?

Now that I think of it, I'm not sure if Ethan was there, but a lot of my cousins, great uncles, etc., were.

I don’t think the Brits ever put this one in the win column.
