But Yorktown was tucked away on the northern edge of the York peninsula in rural Virginia, and in 1781 it became the site of a brief siege between two small armies, fought with all the decorum and formality of 18th century European warfare. About 5,000 British and Germans faced perhaps 18,000 Americans and French. After only three weeks the smaller garrison surrendered, tired and low on ammunition.

This is an intentionally fictional account of the American Revolutionary War traitor, Benedict Arnold. I have taken what I could learn from the historical records and woven a fictional story around those records. In fact, there are lessons to be learned from this man. Success is not always a sign of greatness. Success without humility might lead to a terrible fall. The pursuit of happiness and the pursuit of success are not often the same. Choose wisely. The Bible tells us, Proverbs 14:12 (KJV), "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." The ...
