Problems with Burgoyne

Problems with the Plan
Burgoyne left June 1777--captured Fort TiconderogaBurgoyne, “Gentleman Johnny” marched too slowly from Canada
Carried useless artillery, 30 carts full of his wardrobe and champagne, and his mistress
Got stuck in the dense woods north of Saratoga--and marshlandsPatriot forces helped his slow march
Cut down trees across trails
Took 4 weeks to reach the Hudson River

Problems cont..
St. Leger was slow as well
Did not leave Fort Oswego until July 26
Stopped to seize a fort from the Patriots
This allowed Benedict Arnold timeArnold marched his troops from the battle, and encountered Burgoyne
Forced him back to Fort Oswego
