The "Boot Monument" in Saratoga National Historical Park is dedicated to this soldier.
The "Boot Monument? in Saratoga National Historical Park is dedicated to Benedict Arnold. During the Second Battle of Saratoga, on October 7, 1777, General Benedict Arnold was shot in the leg. Another bullet killed his horse, which fell on Arnold, crushing his leg. The ?Boot Monument? sits close to the spot where Arnold was wounded, and is a tribute to the general?s heroic deeds during that battle. Although Arnold?s accomplishments are described on the monument, it pointedly avoids naming the man best known for betraying his country.
