This Historic Resource Study (HRS) presents new archival evidence on Saratoga, New York’s role in the broad colonial era preceding the pivotal Battle of Saratoga in 1777.The study is based on research in eighteen different archives or libraries. New archival sources contribute to the Saratoga NHP’s understanding of the Revolutionary War and the historical and cultural landscape related to Saratoga’s colonial past: the Schuyler Estate, the focal point of the 1745 French attack on Saratoga; the site of Fort Hardy and the Field of Grounded Arms; and the Sword Surrender site, overlooking the area of Fort Clinton and the earliest Saratoga settlements.
