On Sunday, July 27, 1777, British troops and Indians attacked and drove back an American picket of 100 troops Arnold had stationed at Fort Edward. Ten Americans were killed. The Indians also took two women from the town, apparently for ransom. One of the Wyandot Indians soon killed and scalped 23 year old Jenny McCrea, a loyalist engaged to a Tory acting as guide to Burgoyne. Arnold's report of this atrocity (saying the natives "scalped, stripped and butchered" her "in the most shocking manner") spread throughout New England and helped to raise the great numbers of militia that rose up to face Burgoyne's invasion. See James Kirby Martin's book "Benedict Arnold, An American Warrior Reconsidered" for complete details.
