The Bennington Road Heroine and the Red Mill
In a Bennington era tale a young woman named Bessie Baines defends a mill when Burgoyne’s forces approach. Her disabled companion William aids by relaying orders and aiding barricades as the 1,000-strong British column nears. Patriots arrive, trap the red-coated troops, and the battle ends with many deaths and a heroic sacrifice.
