Gates Takes Command
View through CrossRef
This chapter discusses the events surrounding the assumption of command of the American Northern Department and Army by Horatio Gates. When Gates replaced Schuyler on August 18, the army had mostly recovered from the Ticonderoga shock, due to Schuyler’s efforts and to reinforcements of leaders and units sent by Washington. The militia-friendly Gates was popular with the New England units. During this period, the most notable of the reinforcing units was Colonel Daniel Morgan’s riflemen. When Gates took command, he faced myriad issues, not the least of which was Schuyler’s bitter and resentful staff officers still with the army, who tried to undermine the new commander. Gates soon moved the army north to a place called Bemis Heights, overlooking the Hudson and the Albany road. On September 13, Burgoyne moved the army across the Hudson to the west bank and began to move south. The armies would soon meet.
