Burgoyne's party train set out from the last british fort north of lake champlain. It took all of three days for burgoyne to make his irst major mistake. He issued an open letter to the effect that if the rebels didn't give up, that he would be forced to unleash his indian allies to do their very worst. The killing of jane mc cray was blown up by patriot propagand into a vicious act of barbarism. But we'll let burgoyne find that out in his own good time.
