    Women played important roles supporting the British forces during General Burgoyne's 1777 Saratoga campaign. Dozens of women followed the army as it marched through New York, providing supplies, washing clothes, cooking, and nursing the sick and wounded. Many were the wives or companions of soldiers, while others worked as sutlers or camp followers to earn a living. However, the long march and eventual surrender proved extremely difficult for the women, who faced capture, imprisonment, or being separated from family.

    Original Description:

    Female followers with Lt. Gen. John Burgoyne's army in the summer and autumn of 1777.

    Original Title
