2015 25 Cent 5-oz Silver America the Beautiful Saratoga NGC SP70 FDI
The Fields Where the American Revolution Shifted Towards Independence!
Tucked away in Upstate New York, just north of Albany and a few miles west of the Vermont border, lies the peaceful and picturesque fields of Saratoga National Historic Park. However, nearly 240 years ago in the fall of 1777, the land was covered with a fog of gunpowder and revolution. Over the course of one month and two battles, the British troops under the command of General John Burgoyne met their match in the Continental forces led by General Horatio Gates. After the surrender of British forces on October 17, the young United States of America proved they could fight toe-to-toe with overseas forces and win!
With their victory in the Battles of Saratoga, the U.S. would receive military support from France, Spain and the Netherlands. This true "Turning Point of the American Revolution" would not just secure the independence of the United States, but it would change world history forever -- and all occurring on what is now a peaceful park surrounded by dense forests and inspiring vistas. It is this exact national historical park that was chosen as New York's entry in the America the Beautiful Quarters™ Program.
