General Burgoyne addressing the Indians, 1777 (c1880). Artist: Unknown

General Burgoyne addressing the Indians, 1777 (c1880). John Burgoyne was given command of British forces in Canada in 1777. He planned to march on Albany, New York, then on to New York itself. He believed that the Native American populace and large numbers of loyalists would support his campaign and that the American Revolutionary War could be quickly and decisively ended in Britain's favour. His campaign, which ended with defeat at the Battle of Saratoga, proved his beliefs to be ill-founded. A print from Cassell's History of the United States, by Edmund Ollier, Volume II, Cassell Petter and Galpin, London, c1880.
