Produktbeschreibung

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.
