Summary

"The Sun of Saratoga: A Romance of Burgoyne's Surrender" by Joseph A. Altsheler is a historical romance set during the American Revolutionary War, where themes of loyalty, duty, and the harsh realities of war take center stage. The story follows Dick Shelby, a dedicated guard, as he faces serious challenges around Burgoyne's surrender. Dick's mission to guard a crucial point is complicated by the divided loyalties of the Van Auken family, particularly his interactions with Kate Van Auken, whose family supports the British. This sets the scene for a story filled with tension, questioning of trust, and the potential for betrayal as personal relationships clash with the broader conflict of the war.
