Militia companies had arrived at the Continental…
September 1777 CE
These have been augmented by troops Washington has ordered north from the Hudson Highlands as part of General Arnold's operation to relieve Stanwix.
These troops had arrived at the end of August and include the crack sharpshooters of Daniel Morgan's rifle corps, which he had sent north from his own army.
News of the American successes at Bennington and Fort Stanwix, combined with outrage over the death of Jane McCrea, rally support, swelling Gates' army to over six thousand rank and file.
This number does not include Stark's small army at Bennington, which has been reduced in size by disease and the departure of some of its companies, but has also been augmented by several hundred troops raised by General Benjamin Lincoln, who has been assigned to make attacks against Burgoyne's supply and communications.
