John Burgoyne

Tryon County militia and Oneidas marching to relieve Fort Stanwix were ambushed by Loyalists and Britain's Indigenous allies on August 6, 1777.

Iroquois fighters took part on both sides at Oriskany, with Oneidas accompanying the American column against Britain's Indigenous allies.

Burgoyne attacked the Continental Army at Freeman's Farm on September 19, 1777, winning a tactical victory at the cost of heavy casualties.

Historians disagree over whether Benedict Arnold remained at Gates' headquarters or actively directed troops during the battle.

Responding to a threat, Arnold requested more forces and Gates allowed him to dispatch Ebenezer Learned's brigade of Massachusetts regiments.

Burgoyne attacked the entrenched American position on October 7, 1777, but was defeated and lost his earlier gains.

Surrounded by a much larger American force and denied timely relief, Burgoyne surrendered his entire army to Gates on October 17, 1777.

Burgoyne's army arrived near Fort Ticonderoga on July 1 and besieged it from July 2 to July 6, 1777.

St. Clair's garrison abandoned Ticonderoga on the night of July 6, marching toward Hubbardton in the disputed New Hampshire Grants.

On July 7, 1777, Fraser's British forces caught and defeated the American rearguard at Hubbardton, Vermont.

Captured Americans were sent to Ticonderoga; British troops went to Skenesboro, while the escaped main body enabled later American victories.
