Battle of Bennington
View through CrossRef
This chapter discusses the pivotal Battle of Bennington and its impact on the Saratoga campaign. Once Burgoyne moved from Fort Edward to Fort Miller, he ordered a large detachment of predominately German soldiers under Lieutenant Colonel Friedrich Baum to march to Bennington to capture cattle and other urgently needed supplies. Baum’s force was caught and destroyed by Americans led by Brigadier General John Stark. A relief force led by Heinrich Breymann was unsuccessful and escaped with heavy casualties. With this disaster, Burgoyne lost over 10% of his army, and most of his Indians left after the battle, which severely hurt his ability to gather intelligence. At this point, Burgoyne was faced with perhaps the most momentous decision of the campaign: continue to march to Albany or fall back to Ticonderoga. Despite the loss at Bennington and St. Leger’s failure at Stanwix, Burgoyne decided to push on.
