This is an account of the events surrounding General John Sullivan's scorched-earth campaign against the Iroquois of New York and the eastern territories in 1779, following the surrender of General John Burgoyne's entire British army at the Battle of Saratoga. The book is one of a military-history series which focuses not on the operational and tactical components of warfare, but on cultural, socio-political, psychological and religious aspects of the military experience.
