story about their commander Major General Horatio Gates I've enclosed a map to show you where I'll be I must admit that sometimes I don't understand James with all the important news to cover he wants to join General Philip Schuyler wandering around in the New York wilderness dear reader I am deep in the forest in New York with two of general Skylar Scouts observing delaying tactics swamps are flooded bridges destroyed all to slow general Burgoyne's march from Canada to Albany keep pushing um corporal carby Sergeant Wilton for a minute I thought I'd lost you Bowen and Ian you got to run there's an Indian after me passions brah but is happening here you left my children unprotected your duty is to keep them safe forgive us baroness von writer sir this boy surprised us he appeared out of nowhere move its is the testable American wilderness you can't see a thing except the box it's plagued us ever since we left Fort Ticonderoga that's it I fell I hit my head on a tree branch yeah that's it I'm dreaming all this Indians chasing me kids are the woods Hessians and angry German Baroness move or not did thank you Bruce so this is life lieutenant general Burgoyne's camp slowed down by a trail of camp powers low on food and not enough horses his troops are miserable while the general travels in style and dines in comfort thanks to more than 30 carts full of his personal belongings hey don't take that it's nothing to do with you indeed and what would you call passing out an appeal to our Hessian comrades to desert what finally general agates headquarters oh my derrieres killing me lucky for you his headquarters are here in Bemis Heights not further north in Saratoga Wow unreal what are you Warren he must be honored to be in the presence of a writer who so glowingly chronicles him in the Pennsylvania Gazette general Benedict Arnold miss Phillips laundry is there any word from general Schuyler having successfully delayed by going nearly a month general Schuyler has returned to Stillwater that's good news it means James is safe good news would be Schuyler here at Bemis Heights he should be in charge not gates is there a problem problem no problem unless having less qualified officers appointed over me after my success at Ridgefield could be construed as a problem or having granny gates seek any excuse to relieve me of my duties could be construed as a problem is that nothing you can do certainly don't give gates a reason to get rid of you excellent advice on Ray and I shall do my utmost to follow it make it fast right here I wouldn't put it there I don't believe we have met Oh Willa Feb : Olive engineer's Kosciusko at your service you do not approve of the way I built this fort depends where do you learn to build boats my home in Poland and an engineering school in France perhaps you can do a better job bet I could build a boat no red coat could get past I would be interested in hearing them did you get your ideas in school school who needs to go to school to build votes look I've been here for weeks I'm just another mouth to feed why not just let me go I told you Letty will deal with you when we arrive in Albany I could take months at the rate you're travelling look patience maybe brutes that only fight for money but I wasn't trying to get them to desert I was using the leaflets to write on oh yes you're writing he speaks of burning crops and destroying bridges here it mentions moving off kettle these are acts of rebellion against the crown I just report on what happens it's what I do I think you do more than that you also possess information about our camp yes sergeant they will assemble directs inform authority party we move out immediately to search for food now what shall I do with you there this will keep you two from going anywhere but he's a passion he's a deserter I think you two will get along nicely don't we be tied to a hessian mercenary oh i don't want to be tied to an American spy yeah well I wouldn't worry about it since you won't be around that long you're British buddies we'll take care of you deserter ha my fate is in the odds of my Duke but you will find out how the British do with American spies I'm not a spy I'm not a desert I was ordered by corphish MIT to accompany him we left the column to find something to eat anything berries small animals we were attacked by some American skirmishes Schmidt Tecopa was wounded but I am told he will heal when he does he will write the Duke on my behalf and to tell him I am innocent unlike you why didn't you shoot back what kind of soldier are you I'm not a soldier I'm a musician wha generally a British patrol has been engaged here that's less than a mile away a great deal less my horse pick up patrols a pack looks like they found more than food how course if I think there was a battle in the place called Freeman's farm last for many hours each side advancing isn't falling back so who won we did only because Hessians arrived in time in the battle the Americans ran low on ammunition were forced to withdraw general Burgoyne's losses were heavy was in two soldiers for every one American doesn't sound like you won to me silent spy and deserter you will be proud to know that your corporal Schmidt returned to duty and helped save the day for us unfortunately I must report that he was killed it happened to me my French is gone so is your alibi Arnold the American troops owe you a debt this day your brave leadership carried the battle three cheers for Arnold he saved the day I'm still hungry who in camp isn't what's it been two two-and-a-half weeks since the battle you're hurt virgo invades for food and reinforcements from New York before he launches another attack I want out of here you with me don't Schmitt to tell them I am innocent I fear what they will do to me I'll go you have a plan well as usual fogs rolling in which means your American skirmishes we'll start harassing us as they've done every night now they're pit cover musket man the American lines can't be far well your camp sounds every night British patrol maybe doesn't sound like chairman crazy are not Indians General Burgoyne promised them a bounty for each dessert that they track back to camp and you just decided to tell me this now doesn't matter they're leaving besides but going from it shouldn't surprise you considering many of you have us aah cannibals we're not cannibals where did you hear that was it boat coming over boy you've got a lot to learn about Americans once you're also about Germans ha not much to learn about you fishes fight for money first I'm not a hissing I'm a brunch become Brunswick for your information nations come from HESA color because the Duke of Brunswick needs money to pay off his debts oh and you get nothing I get the same as an English soldier but for each soldier he provides the English the truck gets a payment and a James confer James look there a cabbie maybe we can find something in it to cut this rope what is wrong with general Arnold is he sick no he won't come out of his tent general Arnold didn't I beg you to stop writing those nasty letters to general Gates he excluded me from staff meetings he reassigned my men and in his report to Congress he somehow failed to mention that I was at the battle he didn't everyone in camp knows our victory is because of you and now as my reward for pointing out those failures general Gates has removed me from my command how can he do that Congress gave gates the power to suspend any officer for misconduct but I will not give gates the pleasure of seeing me leave I shall stay in my tent James is going to be jealous there's no way anything he's reporting is as exciting as your story cannon and their clothes you know what that means come on both hide where there's nothing here under the floorboards oh this was a good idea this this is nothing on the boat coming to America we were packed like herring air was found food verse when she drinking water restrained it with a cloth and still held our noses hey you volunteered volunteer PT does fever tote or be shot you're telling me you went through all back just so you're Duke could pay off a debt fed yes that's tyranny that's what America is fighting against Liberty from people like your doc don't you mean Duke no doc check this cabin in here I'll go in here you go there my men are engaged in a battle I need to be with them if only you weren't under orders to stay here last we orders my men come first Arnold I order you back immediately we are not saved your army is retreating they're going to lose this battle tube we're going to be captured by the British I don't think so look he said mama no he's Benedict Arnold look the American troops are rallying behind him all right let's get out of here oh no more soldiers their coats blue all right the green oh no the Haitians are coming we're going to be prisoners again don't worry they want to convince us deserting all of them make way for a hero his bravery won the day the point is we treated the Sontaran general Arnold is that Sara the Americans once a battle hole boy have you got the story general Arnold you're ordered back to your quarters lest you do something rash you're hurt can you believe it Sara I was wounded in the same leg Esther last time I can't believe you disobeyed general gates orders to stay in your tent and and then you let the Americans to victory James you look terrible you weren't loafing and stillwater were you I wish Hey look at you obviously you weren't exactly just reporting either Russians Brunswickers show it to any of our soldiers and they'll know you don't want to fight anymore the shirt won't leave free tanks oh thanks for teaching me about Americans hey I think we're even you did teach me a lot about hiding places it was a pleasure to meet you both give my regards to Ben Franklin we will a course this is a model of the perfect vote guaranteed to win every battle fine craftsmanship is the door I'm so sorry don't worry when you go to school you'll learn how to fix it dear dr. Franklin what an exciting time I have had in the wilderness I was chased by Indians taken prisoner by Hessians escaped tied to a German prisoner Gunther with whom I not only became friends but also witnessed general Arnold rallying the American troops which eventually led to gentlemen Johnny Burgoyne surrender at Saratoga that was a sight to see his whole army I hope this news that our army could stand up to the British and face-to-face battle and win will aid you in your talks with the French dear mother I am now not so sure that England will win this war in fact I truly believe the Americans may have found a hero to lead them to victory a brilliant and courageous officer named Benedict Arnold
