Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Raid on Saratoga was an attack by a French and Indian force on the settlement of Saratoga, New York on November 28, 1745, during King George's War. Led by Paul Marin de la Malgue, the allied force of 600 burned the settlement, killing about 30 and taking 60 to 100 prisoners. King George's War is the name given to the operations in North America that formed part of the 1744-1748 War of the Austrian Succession. It was the third of the four French and Indian Wars. The War of Jenkins' Ear officially began when a Spanish commander chopped off the ear of English merchant captain Robert Jenkins and told him to take that to his king, George II. War broke out in 1739 between Spain and Britain, but was confined to the Caribbean Sea and the British Province of Georgia.
