“Treason and Triumph,” follows twenty year old Will Stoner, a Lieutenant in General Henry Knox’s artillery regiment, and his friend, Private Adam Cooper, an African American, beginning in February 1780 with the daring attempt to kidnap General Washington from his headquarters in Morristown New Jersey, then Benedict Arnold’s treason in September of the same year, and ends with the successful siege and surrender of Lord Cornwallis’s forces at Yorktown in October 1781. By drawing on diaries, original letters, military orders and broadsheets, “Treason and Triumph” creates an accurate picture of the everyday lives of ordinary soldiers (black and white), women, Whigs, Loyalists and Hessians, all caught up in the revolution. Thoroughly researched, this novel, and the others in the series, “Cannons for the Cause,” “Tories and Patriots,” “Blood Upon the Snow,” and “Spies and Deserters,” are ideal as supplementary reading for students and teachers alike. Each novel contains End Notes with quotations from original sources as well as interpretations of events by well-known historians. There is also an extensive bibliography.
