"The Boy Scouts at the Battle of Saratoga: The Story of General Burgoyne's" by Herbert Carter is a historical adventure written in the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on a group of young scouts during the Revolutionary War, specifically around the pivotal events at the Battle of Saratoga and the strategies employed against British forces led by General Burgoyne. The story likely emphasizes themes of bravery, friendship, and loyalty as the scout characters undertake dangerous missions to gather intelligence. At the start of the book, we meet three young scouts preparing at their camp near Fort Ticonderoga in June 1777. They are anxiously awaiting a courier who will guide them in reporting on the enemy's movements. Their leader, Dan Cushing, emphasizes the importance of discretion and promptness as they prepare dinner for the incoming scout. When the mysterious courier arrives, he reveals himself as Ira Le Geyt, who has been tasked with a secret mission that includes spying on British forces and communicating vital information back to the Continental Army. This opening sets up the boys' adventurous spirit and the challenges they will face in their crucial role during the war. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
