Oriskany Battlefield, New York - Travels With Phil
The Oriskany Battle field was the scene of one of the bloodiest fights between British and American forces during the American Revolutionary War. As many as 475 people were killed on both sides. There were American Indians fighting on both sides, too. The battle took place on August 6, 1777 not far from Fort Stanwix. The Americans were coming to the aid of their comrades at the fort. The British discovered this plan, and ambushed the Americans. The British lost fewer people in the fighting, but the American's held the field' at the end of the fight. While this battle itself was not decisive, it helped lead to the end of the British incursion into New York from Canada. This helped to lead to the British defeat at Saratoga later in the war. - Travels with Phil copyrighted by Phil Konstantin -

Cut from American movie The Broken Chain 1993.
The Battle of Oriskany on August 6, 1777 was one of the bloodiest battles in the American Revolutionary War and a significant engagement of the Saratoga campaign. A party of Loyalists and several Indian allies ambushed an American military party that was trying to relieve the siege of Fort Stanwix. This was one of the few battles in which almost all of the participants were Americans; Patriots and allied Oneidas fought against Loyalists and allied Iroquois in the absence of British regular soldiers.
The Patriot relief force came from the Mohawk Valley under General Nicholas Herkimer and numbered around 800 men of the Tryon County militia plus a party of Oneida warriors. British commander Barry St. Leger authorized an intercepting force consisting of a Hanau Jäger (light infantry) detachment, Sir John Johnson's King's Royal Regiment of New York, Indian allies from the Six Nations, particularly Mohawks and Senecas and other tribes to the north and west, and Indian Department Rangers, totaling at least 450 men.
The Loyalist and Indian force ambushed Herkimer's force in a small valley about six miles (10 km) east of Fort Stanwix, near the village of Oriskany, New York. Herkimer was mortally wounded, and the battle cost the Patriots approximately 450 casualties, while the Loyalists and Indians lost approximately 150 dead and wounded. The result of the battle remains ambiguous. The apparent Loyalist victory was significantly affected by a sortie from Fort Stanwix in which the Loyalist camps were sacked, damaging morale among the allied Indians.
The battle also marked the beginning of a war among the Iroquois, as Oneida warriors under Colonel Louis and Han Yerry allied with the American cause. Most of the other Iroquois tribes allied with the British, especially the Mohawks and Senecas. Each tribe was highly decentralized, and there were internal divisions among bands of the Oneida, some of whom also migrated to Canada as allies of the British. The site is known in Iroquois oral histories as A Place of Great Sadness. The site has been designated a National Historic Landmark; it is marked by a battle monument at the Oriskany Battlefield State Historic Site.

Newtown Battlefield 2010 by Lonny Frost.AVI
Do you enjoy history, would you like to step back in time and see how things may have looked? Well at the Newtown Battlefield you can do just that. Here is a short clip I took, that gives you a glimpse of how history unfolded at the battlefield in Newtown. See the uniforms that both sides wore. You will find you will quickly get confused if you are not paying attention to who is with who. Indians joined both sides in this historic battle. You can walk amongst both sides, view their camps and even visit the indian tribes. My most favorite event is when the Indians capture some prisoners. Learn about their culture and who actually made the choices among each tribe. The evnt occurs near the end of August each year.
