This video is a lecture titled "Benedict Arnold", delivered by historian Dr. James Kirby Martin for the American Revolution Institute (published January 7, 2016; length 1:15:10).
Dr. Martin presents a biographical re-examination of Arnold, arguing that he was a natural military genius and key asset to the Continental Army whose eventual treason stemmed not from early childhood villainy, but from a lifelong sensitivity to arbitrary power, public slights, and personal honor.

We had a fantastic turnout for yesterday's hike on The Great Carrying Place Portage Trail! We set off from the banks of the Kennebec River and made our way along the trail, taking in the scenery and making a great stop at the halfway mark to catch our breath and regroup. Along the way Norm Kalloch shared the history of the trail. Its beginnings as a Native American footpath leading to Canada, to it's use by the Arnold Expedition, a brief life as a stage road and now our favorite place to hike.
The highlight of the day was gathering together on the shore of Middle Carry Pond and listening to tales recounting the trials and tribulations endured by the men and women of the expedition.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a meaningful gathering. Looking forward to the next one!

Grandpa Was a Carpenter": "He was level on the level, shaved even every door"
Checked his signs too. The tree may be crooked, but the sign is level.
