1777 List of British Prisoners Taken at Saratoga
<B>1777 List of British Prisoners Captured at Saratoga.</B></I> Three pages with integral sheet, 8.25" x 13", np, 1777. Likely written around October of 1777, this document features a list of soldiers from General Burgoyne's British army that were captured at the Battle of Saratoga. The list is docketed on the integral sheet as, "<I>List - Men who have Families, and lists individuals in the 21st, 9th, 62nd, 24th, 20th, and 47th Regiments, as well as a detachment of the 33rd, the Royal Artillery, and "Canada Companies.</B></I>" Perhaps this list was created in order to give priority to these men in the event of a prisoner exchange. The list is in very fine condition, very clean with moderate edge wear. The ink is dark and crisp, perfect for display.
