Summary "Saratoga National Historical Park, New York" by Charles W. Snell and Francis Wilshin is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. The book provides a detailed examination of the pivotal Battles of Saratoga during the American Revolutionary War, highlighting their significance in changing the course of the conflict. It delves into military strategies, key figures, and the broader implications of these battles on American independence. The content is structured chronologically, detailing the British plan of attack in 1777 under General John Burgoyne, the sequence of military engagements, and the retreat and eventual surrender of Burgoyne's forces. The narrative explores both the September 19 and October 7 battles, illustrating the tactical maneuvers, the involvement of American forces under leaders like Benedict Arnold, and the mistakes that led to British defeat. The book not only emphasizes the military aspects but also reflects on the psychological impact these battles had on American morale and international support for the Revolutionary cause, ultimately marking this event as a turning point in the quest for American independence.
