Gansevoort won the distinction of successfully resisting a British siege in a period when every other continental post in New York was either evacuated or surrendered. His valiant effort led to the American victory at the Battle of Saratoga, a crucial point of the war. This documentary edition provides 279 pieces of correspondence to and from Gansevoort (and a few others) from 1775 to 1812"-- |c Provided by publisher.
