Phase 4

Fact 1 Paragraph form "The Battle Fields of Personal and Public Memory": My source has restricted copying and pasting, but the information I found is on page 204 of the work I am citing

Fact 1 Paraphrased: Ellen Walworth, the sole female member of the Saratoga Monument Board, offered insight on how the centennial celebration of the battles should take place along with the publication of a book which contained history of the battles and a guidebook for the monument itself.

Fact 2 paragraph from With Musket and Tomahawk Volume II: Once again, the source did not let me copy and paste the information, but it is found on pages 234-238 if you click on the hyperlink.

Fact 2 paraphrased: Indians were persuaded to join the British and were promised rewards in return for fighting the Patriots at the the Battle of Ft. Stanwix; the battle leading up to the Battles of Saratoga and one of the main Battles of "The Wilderness Wars of 1777" of which the Battles of Saratoga ended all together.

Fact 1 implemented (Original text bolded): '''The battlefield and the site of Burgoyne's surrender have been preserved, and are now administered by the National Park Service as the Saratoga National Historical Park, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. The park preserves a number of the buildings in the area and contains a variety of monuments.''' Ellen Walworth, the sole female member of the Saratoga Monument Board, offered insight on how the centennial celebration of the battles should take place along with the publication of a book which contained history of the battles and a guidebook for the monument itself. '''The Saratoga Monument obelisk has four niches, three of which hold statues of American commanders: Gates and Schuyler and of Colonel Daniel Morgan. The fourth niche, where Arnold's statue would go, is empty. A more dramatic memorial to Arnold's heroism, that does not name him, is the Boot Monument. Donated by Civil War General John Watts de Peyster, it shows a boot with spurs and the stars of a major general. It stands at the spot where Arnold was shot on October 7 charging Breymann's redoubt and is dedicated to "the most brilliant soldier of the Continental Army".'''

Fact 2 Implemented (Original text bolded): '''British General John Burgoyne moved south from the province of Quebec in June 1777 to gain control of the upper Hudson River valley. His campaign had become bogged down in difficulties following a victory at Fort Ticonderoga. Elements of the army had reached the upper Hudson as early as the end of July, but logistical and supply difficulties delayed the main army at Fort Edward. One attempt to alleviate these difficulties failed when nearly 1,000 men were killed or captured at the August 16 Battle of Bennington. Furthermore, news reached Burgoyne on August 28 that St. Leger's expedition down the Mohawk River valley had turned back after the failed Siege of Fort Stanwix.''' Indians were persuaded to join the British and were promised rewards in return for fighting the Patriots at the the Battle of Ft. Stanwix; the battle leading up to the Battles of Saratoga and one of the main Battles of "The Wilderness Wars of 1777" of which the Battles of Saratoga ended all together.
