Talk:Battle of Saratoga
From Academic Kids
It's my intention to change the structure of this article. This will take a number of steps, and I'd like you to read the current page and changes in terms of the outline of where I'm going. When I get through I hope to have the following structure:
- Saratoga Campaign (Strategy, Stanwix, Saratogo, and analysis}.
- Battle of Saratoga (general final events, and surrender)
- Battle of Freeman's Farm - Finished short Article
- Battle of Bemis Heights - finished short Article
- Battle of Saratoga (general final events, and surrender)
Updated major biographies (Fraser, Morgan, Poor, Learned) and some related articles. Still need to update Arnold and Gates. We also need biographies on Schuyler and Lincoln as well as other minor characters. But, its making progresss. The Saratoga Campign has been expanded to describe St. Ledger's advance, but now I need more biographies, Fort Stanwix, and Oriskany entries.
In the meantime I may scatter stubs, and leave open links or redundent material that you'd rather see closed. Feel free, of course, to complete any of them with an article. :-)
I'll post status on this page from time to time.
Burgoyne did not procede from "French" Canada. They lost it to the British in that other war. Tmesipt. 2.14.04
Anyone who wants to discuss this mini-project, please use my talk page. - Lou I 16:34 10 Jul 2003 (UTC)
I've finally gotten at least an outline started for the Burgoyne expedition part of the Saratoga Campaign article. Still working back and forth betwen individual battle accounts, biographies, and major articles. Thanks for you patience. Lou I 21:52, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)
This page needs an update. Some officers (Burgoyne) were immediately sent home, but most troops remained prisoners for years. I plan to report this in an article labelled the Convention Army, but a correction here would be welcome in the interim, Lou I
I have finally finished the Saratoga Campaign article. Incuding related articles it only took six months. I still have some work to due on Stanwix and Hubbarton battles and scattered biographies. I may make some minor changes to other battles to alllign with the campaign article, before updating this article. Lou I 10:14, 13 Jan 2004 (UTC)
