General Horatio Gates was originally an officer in the British army, but emigrated to America before the American Revolution. In 1745, he was mustered into service as number 15 on his regimental roster. Mustered in as number 16 was the man who would surrender his sword to Gates at Saratoga less than a year later: General Sir John Burgoyne.

Quotes:
Col. John Glover:
The boats are ready, sir. The men are ready as they're going to be, provided we can cross that damn river at all.
Gen. George Washington: What was that?
Col. John Glover: About the men sir?
Gen. George Washington: No, something about not crossing the river? Glover, you have been a pain in my ass and a thorn in my side since the day I first met you. You'd have been a general by now, if not for your pithy bitching.

One of the best films I have seen on the American Revolution. It took the founding fathers and made them human. I thought Jeff Daniels did an excellent job portraying Washington as a man and a general. I have seen the film a number of times and have shown it to several groups of students. Both my students and I enjoy and learn from it.
