O knihe
This book concerns the astonishing events enhancing the natural
leadership of General Benjamin Wait. General Wait participated as a
Ranger in the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War.
He was instrumental in delaying the British General John Burgoyne as he
marched from Canada to his defeat at Saratoga, the turning point of the
Revolutionary War. Between the wars, Benjamin and his brother, Joseph,
became outlaws in New York, were actively involved with the Green
Mountain Boys, and contributed significantly in establishing law and order
on the frontier in the Vermont country. With the creation of a new country
of liberty and democratic self-government, Benjamin was immersed in
creating Vermont as an independent entity between neighboring states.
His adventurous spirit never ceased, which finally contributed to the
founding of Waitsfield, Vermont.
