During the critical Battle of Oriskany in August 1777, Continental
forces led by General Nicholas Herkimer defeated the British army
under St. Leger in the heart of New York's Mohawk Valley. It was a
hard-won victory, but he and his brave troops prevented the British
from splitting the colonies in two. Although they did not succeed
in relieving the British siege of Fort Stanwix, Herkimer's
citizen-soldiers turned back the British and protected Washington's
northern flank from attack. The Continental army survived to fight
the decisive Battle of Saratoga the next month. Herkimer was
mortally wounded, but his heroism and leadership firmly placed him
in the pantheon of Revolutionary War heroes. Paul Boehlert presents
a gripping account of the events before, during and after this
critical battle.
