this is a dynamic leader and that is what skyler needed. and again i say benjamin lincoln also doesn't get as much press but he is critical to american success at saratoga. he's not one who is leading the attack although he is wounded at the end of the first day of the last battle, seriously wounded leading the attack, but that was not his major role. it was to get the militia out and as the commander of the northern department for skyler and he does a brilliant job at that. so the two key commanders along with other key leaders, daniel morgan is famous through this elite unit washington sends up there. those folks are all critical cogs in the american machine that ultimately win the saratoga campaign. but then when it comes to the final battle, benedict arnold plays a critical role in those battles in the first one, he is the one that gates assigns to manage the flow of troops into the battle. he's actually not up in the front leading the attacks , that he is the guy feeding the troops into the battle to manage and does a great job there a

that's what skyler needed. benjamin lincoln doesn't get as much press, but i think he's also critical to american success at saratoga. he's not one of these guys who is leading an attack, although he's wounded at the end of the first day of the last battle, seriously wounded leading an attack, but that's not -- that wasn't his major role. his major role was to get the lish lsh out -- get the militia out and be the liaison and the commander, skyler and gates the militia. he does a brilliant job at that. daniel morgan is famous, daniel morgan's riflemen, this elite unit that washington sends up there, along with others though, those folks are all critical cogs in that american machine there that will ultimately win the saratoga campaign. but when it comes to the actual final two battles, benedict arnold plays critical roles in both battles. in the first one, he's the one that gates assigns to sort of manage the flow of troops into the battle. he's not actually up in the front leading attacks or anything like that
