On August 16th, 1777 during the American Revolution, Colonel John Stark and his force of militia rout a detachment of Hessian soldiers at the Battle of Bennington. British General Burgoyne had sent the Germans away from his Saratoga campaign in New York into Vermont to seize horses. It was another blow to Burgoyne that would just add to the eventual failure of the Saratoga campaign, one of the most important of the American revolution.
