Burgoyne's Invasion of 1777 / With an outline sketch of the American Invasion of Canada, 1775-76.

The author recounts the northern theater of the Revolutionary conflict, opening with earlier invasions of Canada and then tracing a British expeditionary campaign intended to divide the colonies by advancing from the north. The narrative describes planning and organization, chronicling logistical failures and a sequence of engagements—including Ticonderoga, Hubbardton, Bennington, Freeman's Farm, and Bemis' Heights—that culminate in a retreat and an October 1777 surrender. Alongside battlefield description, the account assesses leadership choices, the interplay of militia and regular troops, supporting expeditions, and the campaign's immediate military and political consequences.
