Saratoga National Historical Park Visitor Center Theater
Almost all media covering the 1777 Battles of Saratoga tell a story of American
Generals Benedict Arnold and Horatio Gates embroiled in a nasty conflict of
personalities which peaked when Gates stripped Arnold from command. Nevertheless,
Arnold famously defied Gates and participated in the decisive October 7 Battle of
Bemus Heights anyway. But, come to find out, it’s a lie and we’ve all been tricked! Join
Park Ranger Eric Schnitzer as he forensically reviews the evidence which proves how
most of the story is false and he reveals who it was that deceived us in the first place.
