Top twenty oil fields ranked by increase/decrease in oil production / well month-over-month (July-over-June). Except in four cases, the number of wells remained the same month-over-month, and in three of those cases, the number of wells increased by a single well. Only in Camp oil field was there an increase of more than one well. I can say with some certainty, that in almost all cases, the wells did not increase in number by old wells being shut in; new wells coming on line:

******************************
Valiant Ambition: George Washington, Benedict Arnold, and the Fate of the American Revolution
Nathaniel Philbrick
c. 2016
DDS: 973.4 PHI
Chapter 6
Saratoga
Although this chapter is called Saratoga, there are several battles described. Most have to do with Benedict Arnold; not much is said about Geo Washington in this chapter.

In the north, it's the Brits, under Burgoyne, trying to get to Albany; Americans Gates and Arnold
In the south, it's the Brits, under Howe, trying to get to Philadelphia; Geo Washington to defend

Mostly to and fro; stalemate.
Recap:
  • Arnold, despite issues with Continental Congress, he was in a good mood; he thought his actions would vindicate him
  • Arnold had made a great showing at Battle of Ridgefield in Connecticut
  • now, he had just come to the rescue of Americans at Fort Stanwix (without firing a shot)
  • he had spent 2 1/2 weeks on the Mohawk (at the headwaters: Fort Stanwix)
  • HQ, Army of the North: an island at the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson rivers, probably Van Schaick Island
  • during this time, Army of the North had been transformed; victory at Bennington, VT (just east of Saratoga) boosted morale; steady influx of militiamen from New England; influx of Continental troops from the south, all added up to a new army
  • Schuyler vs Gates for undisputed leader of the Army of the North, but Schuyler's humiliating loss of Fort Ticonderoga resulted in being recalled him back to Philadelphia
  • Army of the North preparing for, perhaps, the decisive battle of the war
  • militiamen: one year commitment -- that's why Washington and Schuyler did not like militiamen; Gates "loved" militiamen
  • Arnold and Morgan (Virginia sharpshooters) had the left wing of the Army of the North
  • Morgan's riflemen: deadly aim with grooved barrel; but bayonet could not be fixed to rifle
Now:
  • British Burgoyne crosses the Hudson on September 14, 1777, near the hamlet of Saratoga, north of Albany, just west of Vermont/Massachusetts; just south of Fort Edward on the Hudson
  • Burgoyne "destroyed" by the forests and insect-breeding swamps; one-month's provisions
  • Army of the North on Bemis Heights, south of Saratoga
  • battle at Freeman's Farm had become a stalemate
  • Arnold: mounts, and exclaims, "By God, I will soon put an end to it."
  • Americans had to retreat; Burgoyne had "won" -- but at a cost of 700 Brits vs 150 colonists
  • Americans still on Bemis Heights
Elsewhere, 250 miles to the south in Pennsylvania, the chapter turns to Geo Washington:
  • preparing for second battle at Brandywine
  • a few days early he had moved his army across the fast-moving Schuykyll River that Howe would have to cross if he was going to take Philadelphia
  • Geo Washington's army: 12,000; Howe's, 18,000; Howe eager to attack
  • huge downpour; ended the "Battle of the Clouds," again, with Washington in retreat
Back to the north, Bemis Heights, Battle at Freeman's Farm:
  • again, the difference between Gates and Arnold; the former, cautious; the latter, impulsive and a winner
  • not much happening except squabbles among Gates' supporters and Arnold's supporters
Back to Howe near Philadelphia:
  • Howe out-maneuvers Geo Washington (again) and crosses the Schuylkill River, on way to Philadelphia
  • Howe blundered: split his army -- one to take Germantown; one to take Philadelphia
  • Geo Washington saw his advantage
  • but again, Geo Washington's indecision caused them to lose the battle at Germantown; another loss for Geo Washington; Americans on the run again
Back to the north:
  • this time Arnold takes things into his own hands; soundly defeats the Brits
  • Arnold injured again in the Light Infantry Redoubt after the Battle of Bemis Heights
