Of interest to Lancaster readers, Arnold's wife, Peggy Shippen, was a member of a wealthy Philadelphia family that had links to Lancaster. Major John Andre, the British spy, also had links to Lancaster. He had been captured earlier in the Revolution and had been a prisoner of war in Lancaster . As was the custom for interned officers, he was housed in a private home and was permitted to walk freely in the city.
Summary
"An account of the traitorous trio ( Arnold, his wife, and John Andre ) who almost toppled the American nation at its birth. Benedict Arnold offered to sell his soldiers, with the key fortress of West Point, and to deliver to the enemy, dead or alive, George Washington. The plot promised to destroy the American battle of freedom." [from the publisher]
