The Real Benedict Arnold (Classic Reprint) by Charles Burr Todd Pdf

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.

The Life of Benedict Arnold by Isaac Newton Arnold Pdf

Excerpt from The Life of Benedict Arnold: His Patriotism and His Treason Standing, not very long ago, on the battle-field of Saratoga, near where Benedict Arnold was grievously wounded, as he led as gallant a charge as was ever made, I realized that if he had died on that bloody field how brilliant would have been his record as a soldier and patriot. His name, associated with those of Montgomery and Warren, would have been canonized in American history, and his faults and foibles would have been lost in the blaze of glory which would have encircled it. Standing there, I was impressed with the injustice which has been done him; not in condemning his treason, but in ignoring his virtues, and in refusing to recognize his great services; and I resolved to tell the story of his life truthfully and fairly. Yet conscious of the deep and merited and universal prejudice existing against him, I fear the American people will listen with some impatience to such a story of his life. He was not so black as he has been painted. I have no desire to change the indignation and resentment felt towards him for his treason. I can neither excuse nor extenuate his guilt. But I wish to make known his patriotic services, his sufferings, heroism, and the wrongs which drove him to desperation, and converted one of the most heroic men of a heroic age to the perpetration of an unpardonable crime.

A Journal of the Expedition to Quebec by James Melvin Pdf

Excerpt from A Journal of the Expedition to Quebec: In the Year 1775, Under the Command of Colonel Benedict Arnold IN the month of September, 1775, about the same time that Canada was invaded by the usual route from New York, under General Montgomery, a body of tr00ps, amounting to about men, was detached from the American army before Boston, and designed to invade the province of Canada by a new and unexpected route. The command was given to Colonel Benedict Arnold, an officer already well known, and remarkable for his bold enterprise, daring courage, and impetuous and determined character. The officers accompanying the expedition were-also well known for their soldierlike qualities. Many of them had seen service, and were selected for these reasons, and the subsequent distino tion to which many of them rose, proves the wisdom and sagacity of the choice.

Benedict Arnold by George Canning Hill Pdf

Excerpt from Benedict Arnold: A Biography A traitor is despised of all the world. I have stated in my preface, that is is the design of the Biographical Series of which this volume is a part, to "furnish from the pages of the world's history a few examples of true manhood, lofty purpose, and persevering effort, such as may be safely held up either for the admiration or emulation of the youth of the present day;" and I am sure it is needless to add that the life of Benedict Arnold offers no such example. On the contrary, his memory will be detested as long as time shall help to keep it alive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Treason Death of Benedict Arnold by John Jay Chapman Pdf

Excerpt from The Treason Death of Benedict Arnold: A Play for a Greek Theatre The margin of the Hudson at West Point. Fort Putnam and the Highlands in the distance. A flag is fluttering on the fort. The orchestra represents the level of the river shore, upon which level the Chorus will enter. The characters of the drama appear on a bank or platform, slightly raised above the orchestra and Chorus. At the opening of the play Father Hudson is upon the scene. He reclines in the centre of the stage in the attitude of a river-god. The nook or couch in which he rests is situated between the two levels, as it were in an angle of the river bank. His position is such that he can, by turning his head, either watch the personages on the stage, or address the Chorus on the river mar gin. He is so painted and disposed as not to attract attention when the play opens, but to appear rather as a part of the scenery and decoration.

The Passage of the Arnold Expedition Through Skowhegan (Classic Reprint) by Louise Helen Coburn Pdf

Excerpt from The Passage of the Arnold Expedition Through Skowhegan It is not our province to follow the career of Benedict Arnold beyond this Expedition, in which he proved himself resourceful, courageous and steadfast. Call no man happy until he is dead! If Arnold, like Montgomery, had been killed instead of wounded on the ramparts of Quebec, or if he had been killed instead of wounded in one of his fiery charges at Saratoga, his name would now occupy a shining place in American history.

Treason to American Tradition by Charles Grant Miller Pdf

Excerpt from Treason to American Tradition: The Spirit of Benedict Arnold Reincarnated in United States History Revised in d104 Books One needs to be only American to realize that by such teachings as these to the youth of our nation the springs of our patriotic inspirations are being poisoned. Detestable as Benedict Arnold was, his weapon was sword against sword in a iman-to-man warfare. But the treason of to-day insidiously directs against the minds of our children the poison gas of alien pro paganas to deaden patriotic spirit and stupefy the national soul into unthinking submission to unknown i'm'perialistic designs. The heroic history of a nation is the drum-and-fifemusic to which it marches. It makes a mighty differ ence whether America continues to quick-step to Yankee Doodle or takes to marking time to God Save the King.

Benedict Arnold's Regimental Memorandum Book: Written While at Ticonderoga and Crown Point, 1775 (Classic Reprint) by Benedict Arnold Pdf

Excerpt from Benedict Arnold's Regimental Memorandum Book: Written While at Ticonderoga and Crown Point, 1775 The events of which it treats are among the most important in the annals of the Revolution, while the subsequent career of its writer gives a mournful interest to all connected with that portion of his life in which his devotion to his country was unquestioned. It has been said that depriving him of command on the lakes was the first of a series of acts of injustice which resulted in his inexcusable crime. We cannot agree with this con elusion. His own self-wilfulness was the cause of his removal, and led eventually to his everlasting disgrace. It would be an act of insignificance to reflect on one who has fallen so low in human estimation as Arnold has, were it not. That the brilliant qualities he at times displayed are calculated to make us lose sight of a violent and unprincipled nature, which would cause the downfall of any man who possessed it, and attribute his short comings to disappointments engendered by the injustice and narrow mindedness of the authorities he served. That our readers may understand the circumstances under which the following memorandums were written, we will as briefly as possible review those which led Arnold to Ticonderoga and to his removal from command.

Benedict Arnold, the First Governor of Rhode Island by Hamilton B. Tompkins Pdf

Excerpt from Benedict Arnold, the First Governor of Rhode Island: A Paper Read Before the Society August 18th, 1919 In an interview with Mr. Rider a few years before his death, he told me that he had not seen the Harris papers themselves at the time he wrote, as he was denied access to them, and they were not at that time in the possession of the Rhode Island Historical Society, and it is fair to presume that Mr. Paine also had not seen them, or he would not have made the statement he did, impugning the assertion of Mr. Rider in the Harris suit above referred to.
