Benedict Arnold, Patriot (and Traitor)

We all “know” Benedict Arnold, the traitor of 1780, but this ignores his many exploits of 1775, 1776, and 1777 - when the dream of independence was at its most fragile. A tiny American army, an advance through a howling wilderness. An attack against impossible odds, in a blinding snowstorm. A scratch fleet overwhelmed by the Royal Navy - but delaying invasion a fateful year, saving The Cause. A besieged American fort, relieved through a clever ruse. Taking decisive action in the most vital battle of the war. George Morrison takes us along a journey through New England, Québec Province, and New York exploring historic and modern images.
