On August 16, 1777, in the hills near Bennington, Vermont, one of the most important battles of the American Revolution unfolded. What began as a British mission to gather supplies quickly turned into a devastating defeat for British, Hessian, Loyalist, and Native American forces at the hands of determined American militia and Continental soldiers led by General John Stark and supported by the legendary Green Mountain Boys.
In Bennington Battle Victory: August 16, 1777 - The Green Mountain Boys, authors George D. Goodrich IV and Christine Goodrich bring this pivotal Revolutionary War battle to life. Readers will follow the events leading up to the clash, experience the fierce fighting that raged across the Vermont countryside, and discover how an American force of citizen-soldiers achieved a remarkable victory against a seasoned enemy.
The Battle of Bennington resulted in approximately 240 enemy casualties and the capture of nearly 700 British and Hessian prisoners, while American losses remained comparatively light. The victory weakened British General John Burgoyne's campaign and helped pave the way for the crucial American triumph at Saratoga, a turning point in the Revolutionary War.
Inside this book, you will discover:
- The causes of the Battle of Bennington
- The role of the Green Mountain Boys and local militia units
- The leadership of General John Stark and other American commanders
- The British and Hessian expedition into Vermont
- Detailed accounts of the fighting on August 16, 1777
- The capture of hundreds of enemy soldiers
- The battle's impact on the Saratoga Campaign and the American Revolution
- Historical insights into the men who fought for independence
Filled with courage, sacrifice, and determination, this book tells the story of an American victory that helped change the course of history and secure the cause of liberty.
A must-read for Revolutionary War enthusiasts, military history readers, genealogists, and anyone interested in the birth of the United States.
