Benedict Arnold Burned in Effigy Every Year

Revolutionary Rogues, one of my American history books for elementary students,  takes you through Arnold's treason and his ultimate escape from punishment. What came next was his worst atrocity: he burned his home town, New London, Connecticut. That community burns the traitor in effigy yearly. 

I'm an American Friend of Lafayette and we're celebrating Lafayette's bicentennial with events in each state he visited! You can prepare young Americans for this historic time in 2024-2025 by reading Revolutionary Friends.

The Three VIllage Historical Society in Setauket, Long Island, celebrates Long Island's spies--and George Washingon's most valued spies--yearly on Culper Spy Day. I'm proud and grateful to be a part of this important remembrance sharing my American Revolution books.
