Saratoga National Historical Park National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Saratoga National Historical Park Draft General Management Plan Draft Environmental Impact Statement 2003 Saratoga National Historical Park STILLWATER AND SARATOGA, NEW YORK Draft General Management Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Statement Prepared by: Northeast Region, Boston Office Saratoga National Historical Park 2003 “At Saratoga, the British campaign that was supposed to crush America’s rebellion ended instead in a surrender that changed the history of the world.” Richard Ketchum Author of Saratoga A MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT I am pleased to announce that the draft general management plan/draft environmental impact state­ ment for Saratoga National Historical Park is now available for your review and comment. The docu­ ment describes the resource conditions and visitor experience that should exist at Saratoga National Historical Park over the long term. It presents a range of alternatives and assesses the potential envi­ ronmental and socioeconomic effects of the alternatives on park resources, visitor experience, and surrounding area. As Superintendent, I can assure you that the challenges facing park managers become more complex and varied each year. It is easy to get caught up in these pressing day-to-day issues. That is why the National Park Service seeks to have each park update its plan every 15 or 20 years. It forces us to step back and re-think fundamental questions such as the park's mission and significance, and analyze how to respond to changes facing us. This is not to say we must discard everything that has been done or make changes for change’s sake. The Park Service’s core mission of preserving America’s treasures should never change. The historic events that took place here will always be significant, although they may be reinterpreted over time. The draft plan describes four management options, one of them being our preferred alternative. We hope that this plan, and especially its preferred alternative, will achieve the right balance between permanence and change, between preservation and public use. Your involvement has been vital to this process. Since the start of planning, we have absorbed ideas and advice from many sources. A park like Saratoga has a large constituency, locally, nationally, and even internationally; and we value your input. We invite your comments on this draft plan. The document will be available for public review for 60 days, over which time we will accept written and oral comments. Please call, send a fax, write a letter, or e-mail your thoughts and suggestions. Include your name and address. Anonymous comments will not be considered. We may make comments, including names and home addresses of respon­ dents available for public review. If you wish to have your name and address withheld, please state so at the beginning of your comment. We will carefully review all substantive comments and incorpo­ rate them, as appropriate, in the final plan and final impact statement. Imagine that you are visiting Saratoga National Historical Park 20 years from now, and see whether the preferred alternative or any of the others provides a blueprint to create the kind of place you would like to see and the kind of experience you would like to have. Please share your thoughts so that our management of the park will continue to be a credit to its proud history.

The general man­ agement plan provides a foundation to guide and coordinate all subse­ quent planning and management. The general management plan takes the long view, 15–20 years into the future. The National Park Service seeks to have each park operating under approved general management plans. This ensures that park managers carry out, as effectively and efficiently as possible, the mission of the National Park Service. MAKING DECISIONS Three years ago, the National Park Service planning team began to gather ideas from interested citizens about how best to manage Saratoga National Historical Park. The team held public meetings and published newsletters to get the word out about the plan and to get feed­ back on various plan components. Based on an extensive analysis of resources and the public input received, the team shaped four manage­ ment alternatives. One, Alternative D, has been selected as the Preferred Alternative. Alternative D has also been identified as the environmental­ ly Preferred Alternative. The four alternatives, along with the foundation pieces that guided their formation, are summarized on the following pages. THE MISSION: TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT The foundation for the general management plan rests on the park’s purpose and significance statements. These statements are based on the park’s authorizing legislation and its legislative history. The pur­ poses state why the park was established as a unit of the national park system. Park significance defines the park’s place within its broader national context. Park Purpose Saratoga National Historical Park preserves and protects sites associated with the battles, siege, and surrender of British forces at Saratoga, which were decisive events in the winning of American inde­ pendence. The park interprets these and other sites, events, and people associated with the 1777 military campaign in the Champlain-Hudson and Mohawk valleys (also known as the Burgoyne Campaign). Park Significance Saratoga National Historical Park: · Honors the participants and preserves the battlegrounds where a major British mil­ itary offensive in 1777 ended in a surrender that heartened the patriot cause and i Saratoga National Historical Park brought about the international recognition and aid essential to securing our nation’s freedom.

  • Redemption Found Believers Can Trust God to Be Faithful to Them
    Session 3 | Job 19:19-29 Redemption Found Believers can trust God to be faithful to them. New York’s Saratoga National Historical Park contains an unusual statue. It is a stone monument featuring a military commander’s single boot. The monument’s inscription lauds but does not name the “most brilliant soldier of the Continental Army” who received a severe leg wound at the Battle of Saratoga. The unnamed commander’s hard-hitting attack at Saratoga routed the British army and assured an American victory in the battle. That victory helped convince France to enter the Revolutionary War on the side of the American colonies. French support ultimately tipped the scales in the Continental Army’s favor, leading to America’s long-sought independence. The boot monument pays tribute to this unnamed colonial soldier’s leg wound received while leading a final, victorious charge. So why has this man been denied the mark of respect due a military hero? Why was the commander’s name not engraved on the monument that honored his valor? The answer is because the soldier’s name was Benedict Arnold, a name that has become synonymous with treason. By the early summer of 1780, Arnold was a recognized national hero. He held the rank of Major General in the United States Army and had an unrivaled war record. George Washington considered Arnold to be one of his most dependable military leaders and named him the commander of the critical fort at West Point, New York. Regrettably, it was there that a disgruntled Arnold entered into secret negotiations with the British army to surrender the fort.

  • Fort Edward / Rogers Island History and Timeline
    HISTORY OF FORT EDWARD AND ROGERS ISLAND The present village of Fort Edward, New York, was called “The Great Carrying Place” because it was the portage between the Hudson River and Lake Champlain. The first recorded military expedition to have passed through the Great Carrying Place, led by Major General Fitz-John Winthrop, occurred in 1690. The following year, Peter Schuyler led another expedition against Canada. The first fortification to have been built in Fort Edward was under the command of Colonel Francis Nicholson in 1709, during the conflict known as “Queen Anne’s War.” Fort Nicholson was garrisoned by 450 men, including seven companies of “regulars in scarlet uniform from old England.” A crude stockade was built to protect storehouses and log huts. John Henry Lydius, a Dutch fur trader, came to the site of Fort Nicholson to construct a trading post in 1731. Lydius claimed this land under a title granted to the Rev. Dellius in 1696. According to a 1732 French map, the trading post may have been surrounded by storehouses and fortified. Lydius may also have built a sawmill on Rogers Island. It is unknown whether the Lydius post was destroyed and later reconstructed in 1745 when many French and Indian raids were being conducted on the Hudson River. Many Provincial troops arrived at the Great Carrying Place during July and August of 1755. Among these were the celebrated Rogers’ Rangers. Rogers Island became the base camp for the Rangers for about 2 ½ years during the French and Indian War. Many Ranger huts, a blockhouse, a large barracks complex, and a large smallpox hospital were constructed on Rogers Island between 1756 and 1759.

    1 An Uncommon Defense (1607–1775) Introduction On September 24, 1759, a force of nearly 150 men maneuvered in the marshy woods of North America. They included Indians, provincials, and regulars, although most of them possessed no formal military training. After entering Quebec, they gathered to the north- east of Missisquoi Bay for a “council of war.” Major Robert Rogers, their commander, addressed the gathering. Clothed in a green- jacket and bonnet, he stood over 6 feet tall. His face was marked by smallpox scars and gunpowder burns. His forehead revealed a line carved into his fl esh by a lead bullet. He spoke deliberately with few words, exhibiting a coolness that inspired confi dence in the weary men. Their line of retreat was cut off by their enemy, he announced, while an ambush awaited them ahead. Drawing upon his understanding of the terrain, he quickly designed a plan of action. Although the mission that he outlined seemed impossible, they voted to “prosecute our design at all adventures.” Modifying their route, Rogers guided them through the spruce bogs in the boreal forests. As they stepped into the cold, acidic water, the submerged branches, needles, roots, and logs tore their moccasins to shreds and left many of them barefoot. They marched abreast in a single “Indian fi le,” so as to prevent their enemy from tracking them. Their movement through theCOPYRIGHTED bogs continued for nine days an dMATERIAL culminated near the Saint-Francois River. T he men stood almost 6 miles away from their target, an Abenaki village on the other side of the waterway.

    2020 HUDSON RIVER ACCESS PLAN POUGHKEEPSIE TO RENSSELAER FINAL REPORT GEORGE STAFFORD MARCH 2020 Photo courtesy of Jeanne Casatelli ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Hundreds of individuals, elected officials, agencies and organizations have contributed to the development of this document through their words and actions. They include: • People passionate about improved access to the Hudson River who attended public meetings, provided more than 1,000 comments and 5,000 votes on places where they use or wish to use the river, and have been directly involved in keeping access points open by taking part in cleanups along the shorelines and other activities. • Elected federal, state and local officials from Poughkeepsie to Rensselaer who provided letters and resolutions contained in this report, participated in phone interviews, facilitated public meeting sites, and elevated the importance of saving and increasing access points through their support of local plans and reports issued in recent years. • Individuals and organizations who collaborated on the Hudson River Access Forum that issued “Between the Railroad and the River—Public Access Issues and Opportunities along the Tidal Hudson.” This 1989 publication remains extremely relevant. • Finally, we wish to thank Matthew Atkinson, who authored “On the Wrong Side of the Railroad Tracks: Public Access to the Hudson River” (1996) for the Pace Environmental Law Review. This work provides a phenomenal review of the public trust doctrine and the legal principles governing the railroads’ obligation to provide river access. Mr. Atkinson’s advice during the development of this document proved invaluable. CONTACT / PRIMARY AUTHORS CONTACT Jeffrey Anzevino, AICP Director of Land Use Advocacy Scenic Hudson, Inc.

  • 2021 Saratoga County Official Directory
    Saratoga County New York 2021 Official County, Town, City & Village Officers Directory Saratoga County A Brief History By Lauren Roberts, County Historian Saratoga County was formed from lands previously belonging to Albany County on February 7, 1791. These lands included most of the Kayaderosseras Patent granted by Queen Anne to 13 of her “loving subjects” in 1708. Saratoga County occupies an important geographical position; bounded on the north and east by the Hudson River and the south by the Mohawk River, the confluence of these two great waterways have made the County a prime destination in times of both war and peace. The northwestern portion of the county is a mountainous area located within the Adirondack Park, while many important rivers and streams such as the Sacandaga and Kayaderosseras dominate the fertile valley areas. The diverse geography of this County has made it appealing to many different people who have chosen to call Saratoga County home. The Mohawks of the Iroquois Confederacy used this area as hunting and fishing grounds before the Europeans settled here. Many waterways and well-worn Native American trails were used during the French and Indian War (1755-1763) and during the American Revolution. In the Fall of 1777 British troops led by General John Burgoyne were headed south along the Hudson River when they encountered a large number of Americans entrenched at Bemis Heights. After two battles, the Americans were victorious and General Burgoyne surrendered to the Americans, led by General Horatio Gates on October 17, 1777. The Battle of Saratoga became famously known as the turning point of the American Revolution.
