Abstract:
General, soldier, businessman, traitor: these are all words associated with the name Benedict Arnold. One of America's greatest soldiers and most reviled traitors, he was also a significant and intriguing player in Canada's history. In Benedict Arnold Barry Wilson takes a fresh look at this controversial, fascinating, and legendary figure who left behind a legacy of colorful tales, a string of descendants, and a military coat that still hangs in a Saskatchewan farmhouse.
