Legacy Journal: Thursday Follow Up

Daniel Morgan and the Battles of Saratoga

Joshua Fattal: Update from Iran and CBS News.

Fattal spent three years recently living with a group dedicated to sustainable farming near Cottage Grove, Oregon. He lived with about nine others and worked as the group’s intern coordinator before leaving about eight months ago, according to Jason Brown, who now holds Fattal’s job.

From January to June, Fattal traveled overseas as a teaching assistant with the International Honors Program, visiting Switzerland, India, South Africa and China on a global ecology program. Fattal had been a student in the program during college, president Joan Tiffany said.

“He’s a very thoughtful, caring person, soft-spoken, smart, bright. Has lots of travel experience, and is someone that I would expect to be an experienced camper,” Tiffany said.

As a followup to the posting on Daniel Morgan, is is only fair and fitting to note that his troop of snipers at the first and second battles at Saratoga were from Tennessee and Kentucky and that they supplied their own rifles.  One of their kills was the Canadian general, Simon Fraser who was single out,  shot out of his saddle, died and was buried before nightfall.  Later, he had a university named for him.  Frazer, a Scot in the service of the the Army and the King, was never known to have been in British Columbia.

Meanwhile, the families of the three young American explorers who are being held by Iranian authorities have been informed that by are in custody.  Their location and status remains unknown.  According to the U.S. State Department, the Swiss embassy in Tehran is representing US interests in the case.
