This map traces the route of Lt. General Burgoyne from his entry into the country until his defeat in Saratoga. Saratoga is rendered in the lower left of the map. The mapmaker is Mr. Medcalfe and the engraver is William Faden. This photograph was taken at the 151st anniversary of the first battle at Saratoga, usually referred to as the Battle at Freeman's Farm. This battle, and the following battle three weeks later, is thought to be the turning point of the war. This image was created to record the historic site activities of the New York State Conservation Department.
