A detail from the mural " Benedict Arnold, Triumphant at Saratoga," by military artist George Gray (1907-2004) depicts the moment on Oct. 7, 1777 when American General Benedict Arnold, despite an order from General Horatio Gates confining him to quarters-- led the Continental Army to victory during the Battle of Bemis Heights, a part of the larger Battle of Saratoga. Arnold, of course, later went on to attempt to betray the American position at West Point. The painting has been donated to the New York State Military Museum, a part of the New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs.
