Listen to the Road to the Battle of Bennington Site 20 Audio Narration:

A report arrived that Colonel St. Leger has won a victory over the Americans; I had written about that on June 1. Without a doubt, this is only being spread to inspire our men with courage, for who would want to bring us this news here in the wilderness?

Julius Wasmus, August 13, 1777
