Commemnorating the 150th. annivers-
ary of the surrender of General Bur-
goyne, the Clements library has on dis-
play original letters an(I plans of the
campaign of Burgoyne. The material
has been obtained from the Clinton
papers, pat of the collection of the
British Headquarter papers which M.
Clements purchased two years ago.
In the exhibit is Burgoyn~es letter
to General Howe explaining his sr-
render, and letters to General Clinton
relating the facts of the surrender o1
40 Saratoga.
During the Revolution Lord George
Germain was the governor of the
colonies and it was to hrim that the
general took the suggestionl that Gen-
eral Howe should travel from New
York and meet General Burgoyne and
his troops who were to make n expe-
dition down the St. Lawrence..1Had
this proved successful Ameorica's
struggle for independence might have
been another British colonial upri sing.
Vern~ahi Fails Promise
Lord Germain who agreed to the
plan had his secretary draw up order;
to General Howe, left for a week-end
trip without signing them. When hie
reurned hie had forgotten them and
beneraP Hiowe Proceeded to Philadel
phla as he had been instructed. Bur-
goyne, With 6,000 men, instead of 12,-
000 as he had asked, began his expedi-
tion. The troops were inadequately
supplied and unable to work with full
S ,e f ieiency.
To add to the troubles the Canadian
governor refused to give the general
assistanlce in keeping the forts e had
capt'ured. 'This necessitated 'leaving
detachments behind to hold the cap-
tured 'territory:
He continued south until he met
NGeneral Gates of the Colonial troops
Gates had 16,000 men who, accordin,
to Burgoyne, were wiling to figh
while his army numbered .,500 o
which less than -2,000 were British.
)Beaten By Siperpr Numbers
In the letters and reports of the
general it was a close fight, but su-
perior u~imbers and inferior suppliete
caused his downfall. When surrender
seemed imminent he sued for a treaty
tpon the advice of the sarmy cabinet.
The original terms seemed insulting
to him and were rejected. However
he wrote to General Clinton that a
the seconid meeting he dictated th
terms and was highly pleased with th
r'esult,
General Washington gave him per-
mission to return to England, where
he went to clear his name. He wrote
a letter vindicating himself and hi
cause was so popular that it went to
six editions and was translated to
Germlan. He was given what wa
practically an informal court martial
but the case he ?presented exonerated
him. almost completely.
Beside being a great general Bur
goyne had quite a talent as a writer.
One play, "The Heiress," had ten
editions the first yeear, and was fam-
ous on the stage. He aligned himself
with a political party and his writings
were effective in thei bitter irony.
