To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The soldiers were worn down by weeks of incessant toil, privation, sickness, and desperate fighting.
Their losses included their highest oflBcers and best fighting material. Deserted by their Canadian and Indian allies, their hospitals crowded with sick and wounded, their effective force was less than one half the number Burgoyne had brought from Canada.
In the depths of a gloomy wilderness, they were in- vested by a victorious army, more than twice their num- ber, who encircled them with a wal...l of steel ; an enemy who declined to fight, and who in their high intrench- ments defied attack. "The trap which Eeidesel and Prazer had foreseen was sprung." "In this helpless condition, obliged to be constantly under arms while the enemy's cannon played on every part of their camp and their rifle-balls whistled through the lines, the troops of Burgoyne retained their firmness, and while sinking under a hard necessity they showed themselves worthy of a better fate." * On the 13th, starvation was imminent, and the olficers in council urged Burgoyne to capitulate.
