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]

"This book holds a wealth of information discovered in archives and libraries in Europe. Early history of the beginnings of Anabaptism in the Bernese area of Switzerland is given, followed by emigration stories as people fled to the Alsace and the Palatinate in the 17th century. Genealogy and history is combined, with examples of family names, stating where they lived in Switzerland before emigrating to other parts of Europe and later to America. The appendix lists Anabaptists who fled from Bern to the Palatinate in the 1670s; Bernese Anabaptists found in Basel in the early part of the 18th century; Anabaptists in Commune Florimont, France, in 1791; Anabaptists in Canton Bern in 1823; and Bernese Anabaptist-Mennonite congregations in America."
