Join us for what promises to be a riveting exploration of loyalty, ambition, reputation, and Revolutionary America through the lens of one of its most intriguing—and controversial—women.
Traitor, Wife: Peggy Shippen Arnold and Revolutionary America: In an exclusive preview of this compelling biography, Dr. Charlene Boyer Lewis reexamines the life of Margaret “Peggy” Shippen Arnold—far more than simply the wife of Benedict Arnold. Moving beyond the infamous moment of treason, the book explores Peggy Shippen Arnold’s life before and after the Revolution, as well as the reactions to her actions on both sides of the Atlantic (to be published by Norton early 2027).
