“Perticulars that I have Been eye & ear witness to”: How Nathaniel Bacheller Changed History
This program explores an epic example of Revolutionary War evidence-driven revisionist history!
Eric Schnitzer has worked at Saratoga National Historical Park since 1997, becoming Park Ranger/Historian in 2000. He has dedicated his life’s study to the organization, personnel, and material culture of the British, German, and American armed forces of the American War for independence, particularly as relates to the Northern Campaign of 1777. He lectures and writes extensively on the subjects and has written articles for journals such as The Hessians, The Brigade Dispatch, and The Fort Ticonderoga Bulletin. He’s also created illustrations for books such as Philadelphia 1777; Wives, Slaves and Servant Girls: Advertisements for Female Runaways in American Newspapers, 1770–1783; British Soldiers, American War: Voices of the American Revolution; and The Revolution’s Last Men: The Soldiers behind the Photographs. He and his wife, Jenna, live in an 18th-century house in the White Creek Historic District near Bennington Battlefield, NY, where they spend much of their time sewing reproduction 18th-century garments for living history and museum applications.
