Simon Fraser dies of his wounds early…

October 1777 CE

Simon Fraser dies of his wounds early the next day, but it is not until nearly sunset that he is buried.

Burgoyne now orders the army, whose entrenchments have been subjected to persistent harassment by the Americans, to retreat. (One consequence of the skirmishing was that General Lincoln was also wounded. Combined with Arnold's wounds, this deprives Gates of his top two field commanders.)
