But it was not the place to restrain him from exposure to danger. The time at which he joined the Camp was one of pre-eminent peril. The British Government and the Commander-in-chief of the British forces, had imagined that the possession of Philadephia, combined with that of the line along the Hudson river, from the Canadian frontier to the city of New York, would be fatal to the American cause. By the capture of Burgoyne and his army, that portion of the project sustained a total defeat. The ...final issue of the war was indeed sealed with the capitulation of the 17th of Oct. 1777, at Saratoga — sealed, not with the subjugation, but with the Independence of the North American Union. In the Southern campaign the British Commander was more successful. The fall of Philadelphia was the result of the battle of Brandywine, on the 11th of September.

In the attempt to rally the American troops in their retreat, he received a musket ball in the leg.
