On this day in 1777,
Gen. Burgoyne, on his march to Albany, is delayed by Gates' fortification at Bemus Heights. Two battles are fought, the first ending in a draw, but the second forces Gates to withdraw. Arnold ignores the order to retreat and later is relieved of command after The Battle of Freeman's Farm.
