Product Details:
Arnold at Bemis Heights (Second Battle of Saratoga) depicts the dramatic turning point of October 7, 1777, when General Benedict Arnold, though officially sidelined after quarreling with his superiors, burst onto the battlefield and led a furious charge against British positions during the second engagement at Saratoga. The scene captures Arnold at the height of his patriotism, rallying Continental troops in a reckless assault that shattered the enemy’s defensive line, resulted in his severe leg wound, and directly contributed to General John Burgoyne’s surrender days later—an American victory that persuaded France to openly ally with the colonies and transformed the Revolution into a global conflict.
