Historians have continued to ignore the accusations, finding Brown's charges to be false, and even absurd. In fact, some are unquestionably true, and all are worthy of investigation. John Brown was an early hero of the Revolution, a legislator, envoy, spy, and accomplished field officer. His charges and his many proposed witnesses are a starting point for a reevaluation of Arnold's conduct in the war--on his storied march up Maine's Kennebec River to Canada, during the winter siege of Quebec, and at the battles of Valcour Island and Saratoga. What emerges from Brown's charges is a story of deceit and misconduct, and of prominent leaders and historians turning a blind eye in order to maintain exciting myths"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Arnold, Benedict, $d 1741-1801 $x Trials, litigation, etc. 600 10 $a Brown, John, $d 1744-1780. 600 17 $a Arnold, Benedict, $d 1741-1801. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00035752 600 17 $a Brown, John, $d 1744-1780. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00289356 650 0 $a Courts-martial and courts of inquiry $z United States $x History $y 18th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Law and legislation. $y Revolution, 1775-1783 $x Law and legislation. 650 7 $a Courts-martial and courts of inquiry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00881868 650 7 $a Legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00995636 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Trials, litigation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423712 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526013550.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=07164D185F0811ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
