Hi Frank: I was interested when you said you work on Saratoga. In the 1770s in an adjoining county to this one a guy was brought before the court for being a tory. It was charged that he had got drunk and said "All the American Army ever did was take Burgoyne and that was by accident!". Do you have any idea what he meant by a statement like that? I can send the reference if you want it. What is the address of your web site?
