Excerpt from Visits to the Saratoga Battle-Grounds: 1780-1880; With an Introduction and Notes Burgoyne Ballads that it would probably be my last book on this subject, I did not think I should live to complete another; afterwards, however, it occurred to me that, by way of a final supplement to my Burgoyne series, it might be well to bring together, in a collected form, the different visits which have been made to the Saratoga Battle Grounds, during the last hundred years, by dis tinguished personages at home and abroad - culled from books which now are either extremely rare, or, at least, are not easily accessible to the general reader.
