Every account of the American Revolution mentions Benedict Arnold and brands him--correctly--as a traitor. There's no question that Arnold, an American army officer, switched his loyalty to the British side. Over the years, however, historians, partisans, and gossips have added to Arnold's unsavory reputation by distorting, embroidering, or simply ignoring factual details. In this informed and thoughtful account, Jim Murphy goes in search of the real man behind the "traitor" label, rumors, and folktales that became part of the Benedict Arnold legend. Drawing on Arnold's few surviving writings and on the letters, memoirs, and political documents of his contemporaries, Murphy builds a fascinating portrait of a brilliant man, consistently undervalued by his peers, who made a choice that continues to reverberate through American history. Dramatic accounts of crucial battles and political maneuvers round out this lively biography of a patriot who could have been a hero.

Benedict Arnold may be the most prominent villain in United States history. But was he the truly evil man that American folklore has made him out to be? In the beginning of the American Revolution, he was a staunch patriot and military hero, but by the end of the war his frustration led him to betray his nation. The bad reputation that resulted has lived on in infamy.

Excerpt from The Real Benedict Arnold "I would give a great deal for a true, unbiased, concise biography of Benedict Arnold," said a bright young clergyman to the writer, "one that would reveal the hidden springs of his action in betraying his country. Do you know, the reasons given in the histories never seemed to me sufficient; and on the principle of giving the devil his due I have an unpleasant impression that he has not been fairly treated." To fill the want mentioned by the clergyman this book has been written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... bee, and up that stream as far as Gardiner, thirty-eight miles, to which point it was navigable for sloops, there build batteaux, load them with the baggage and stores, and continue the voyage in them, following the route before laid out. Washington, after studying the matter closely, consented. The expedition was got ready with great secrecy and the utmost celexity for September had already come, and the army must thread the wilderness before the Northern winter set in, or the results would be lamentable. Only picked men were selected, --the very flower of the army, --and Arnold's reputation as a fighting man was so high, they were glad to go under him. It is a little remarkable how many of them later rose to eminence in public life. Aaron Burr, "an amiable youth of twenty," just out of Princeton College, who rose from a sick bed to volunteer, was afterward Vice-President: his classmate and chum, Matthew Ogden, attained eminence both as lawyer and in public life. A classmate of both was the Rev. Samuel Spring, chaplain of the corps, later a celebrated divine of Newburyport, Mass. Dr. Isaac Senter, the surgeon, became a leading physician in Newburyport, R. I. Private John J. Henry, a lad of sixteen, but a man in endurance and mettle, became an eminent lawyer in Pennsylvania and Judge of the County Courts. Dr. Senter kept a diary, and Judge Henry late in life wrote an account of the expedition, which we shall follow closely in describing it. Capt. Henry Dearborn became general, congressman, and Secretary of War under Jefferson. Capt. Daniel Morgan, who commanded the rifle corps, was later the famous partisan ranger of Saratoga, Virginia, and the Carolinas. The field officers were Lieut.-Col. Christopher Greene of Rhode Island, Col. Roger...
