The two armies were now so situated that the catastrophe could not long be averted, and the four succeeding weeks, were pregnant with dangers and difficulties, and fruitful in the waste of human life. * ***** * We had so arranged our journey, as to lodge at Stillwater, and we were even desirous to stay in the very house, which in the plans, accompanying General Burgoyne's "State of the expedition from Canada," is called " Swords' house."
