Description
This event is FULL and no further reservations will be accepted. It will be recorded and shared at a later date. Thank you for your interest!
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.
