`  ==Arnold at Saratoga==  This article is currently blissfully unaware of the historical debate about Arnold's role at Saratoga. Here's what the article says:  :Historians agree that Arnold played an instrumental role in the outcome of the Saratoga campaign, showing courage, initiative and military brilliance. He is said to have almost singlehandedly cut off Burgoyne's attempt to escape in the decisive Battle of Bemis Heights.  Here's what Mark M. Boatner's Encyclopedia of the American Revolution says:  :It is amusing, however, that while some writers credit Arnold with winning the two battles of Saratoga almost singlehanded, others question whether he even was on the field in the first battle and maintain that the second was won before he charged in to lead a costly, useless attack. (p. 31-2)  Our article goes on to say that ``neither can there be doubt as to his crucial role in the Battle of Saratoga...``, but of course, as Boatner's article indicates, there's been a lot of doubt about it. Ward's The War of the Revolution has an appendix devoted to the topic, and like most historians, he concludes that Arnold was present at the battle. But a number of historians in the past doubted it.  Boatner also regards the story of Arnold being buried in his Continental Army uniform as ``improbable``.  Hopefully someone familiar with the historiography will someday write a well-informed article on this guy, covering the way Arnold's actions have been debated over the years.  |  `
