Hubbardton Battle and Bennington’s Road to Saratoga
The 1777 Hubbardton rear-guard action, fought near Memorial Hill and Sucker Brook, delayed British advances from Fort Ticonderoga. American forces under St. Clair, Warner, and Francis suffered heavy losses, but the engagement helped set the stage for Bennington and Saratoga, culminating in Burgoyne’s surrender. Craig Woods notes this as a key, time-buying American victory in Vermont history.
