Summary:

This study investigates the impact of the 1777 Battle of Saratoga, when British forces surrendered to American rebels, within the context of the ethnic and religious disputes between settlers of New York, Vermont, and Canada. In addition to describing the battle, the study traces the roots of conflict back to the 1760s, when whites first arrived in the region, and also looks at the parts played by landowners, farmers, American Indians, and African Americans. The book includes b&w historical illustrations and maps. Corbett has written other books on history. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
