The Battle of BenningtonbyDon Troiani

At Walloomsac, New York, American militia units overwhelm the British positions on August 16, 1777. Taking heavy loses and with now straining supply lines, the British forces were severely weakened in the region, and would take an even worse defeat later that year at Saratoga.
