General Burgoyne - A Short Biography

A short biography of General John Burgoyne, British officer famous for his surrender at Saratoga during the American Revolution to General Gates. He was more successful later in life as a dramatist. One critic stated, 'Burgoyne's battles and speeches will be forgotten; but his delicious comedy of the "Heiress" still continues the delight of the stage, and one of the most pleasing domestic compositions.'
