This is what educators and re-enactors have had to say about
The Battles of Saratoga!

"Educators will find Battles of Saratoga DVD and video helpful in showing their
students what the battles looked like and the major factors at play. This
material can augment classroom activities but should not be just shown as is in
one block of time. The additional features on the DVD will also enhance their
experience. Educators are always looking for ways to spice up their lesson
plans and this should be added to the 'spice rack.'"

"I was glad to have my five home-schooled children see it. It brought a new dimension to what we've studied at home. Seeing it happen, in living color, right before our eyes made a solid impression as to what it must have been like... I definitely feel this is a video that needs to be watched several times."

"I watched the DVD right after I recieved it. Great footage. Professional narrative. Great sound too. I'm very glad I decided on the DVD instead of the VHS tape. I like the extra features. I purchased a video after the battle at Boone's Farm, PA about three years ago and the Saratoga video is far superior.

I hope you film more re-enactments in the coming years. I've been a re-enactor myself for ten years and my friends ask me exactly what we do and why we do it. Now I have it on video to show them."

"This DVD represents a valuable educational contribution. It captures living history at its best. I'm using it in my classes with very positive results. Highly recommended!"

"This documentary brings a fresh perspective to the American Revolution. By combining live-action video with authentic documents and a clear retelling of history, today's students can better understand the context of these important battles. I am recommending it to my 4th grade teachers for their study of New York State History."

"What a wonderful resource for the 4th grade Social Studies Curriculum! With the emphasis on DBQ (Document Based Questions), this resource, which highlights the re-enactment of the Battle of Saratoga, is a priceless instructional tool. The attached Educator's study guide, maps, photographs, music, and suggested internet resources make this DVD/Video a must have purchase for all Elementary School Libraries."
