Is she the ghost of Benedict Arnold?
Arnold was, however, hated by many in that day's "Congress."
Given Arnold's near victory over Britain at Quebec, his Naval victory over a British invasion fleet at Valcour Bay, and his victorious leadership at Lexington ... where he violated orders to remain in the hilltop "command" headquarters and was seriously wounded after charging downhill on his horse to prevent what was almost a major American defeat.
Arnold's major issue with congress was their not covering his expenses ... Arnold lost his financial records when his gunboat went down in Valcouer Bay.
Suggested reading ... "Arundel", "Rabble in Arms", and "Lydia Bailey" By Kenneth Roberts.
And then read Kenneth Roberts' amazing "Oliver Wiswell" -- a look at the Revolutionary war from a pro-British "loyalist" viewpoint.
They are books you will never forget.
