General Horatio Gates - Manhattan, New York - American Revolutionary War Veteran Graves on Waymarking.com

Horatio Gates is considered to be the first Adjutant General of the United States Army.

According to his page on Wikipedia:
"Horatio Lloyd Gates (July 26, 1727 – April 10, 1806) was a retired British soldier who served as an American general during the Revolutionary War. He took credit for the American victory in the Battles of Saratoga (1777) – a matter of contemporary and historical controversy – and was blamed for the defeat at the Battle of Camden in 1780. Gates has been described as "one of the Revolution's most controversial military figures" because of his role in the Conway Cabal, which attempted to discredit and replace General George Washington; the battle at Saratoga; and his actions during and after his defeat at Camden."
