Eric Schnitzer, military historian and park ranger at the Saratoga National Historic Park joins us to talk about the campaign of General Burgoyne and his armies--British, German, Native American, and Americans--which captured Ticonderoga and was marching on to Albany in 1777.  But Burgoyne became the first British general ever to surrender his army to a foreign foe in modern times.  What happened to stop them?   We hear about Horatio Gates and the New England militia, Hubbardton and Bennington, and the extraordinary journals of the Baroness Reidesel.
