He is shoWn to have crossed the Hudson at Fort EdWard, and to have reached Half Moon of the MohaWk, but had fought an engagement at Freeman's Farm on Sept. 19, the action at Braemus Heights is dated Oct. 7th, and the final action at Saratoga, 10th October. It Was a famous march, but to have attacked 20,000 men With a force of only 5,000 could have only had one result, and Burgoyne surrendered to Gates on October 17." Relief: hachures.
