SUMMARY:Benedict Arnold: Connecticut's Most Misunderstood Traitor
DESCRIPTION:Benedict Arnold’s name is synonymous with being a traitor. At an important point in the\nRevolutionary War\, he orchestrated the handover of top-secret plans about the Patriots’\nmost important fort\, West Point\, to British spy John Andre. The plot unraveled;\notherwise\, the outcome of the fight for independence may have had a different ending.\nWhen looking at reasons for his traitorous behavior\, his shattered dreams growing up in\nNorwich are often overlooked. And\, before he switched allegiances to join the British\,\nArnold was considered among the finest of all military leaders on the Patriot side.\nNoted journalist\, podcaster and storyteller Mike Allen will tell this amazing story.

SUMMARY:Local Author Event: Peter C. Vermilyea
DESCRIPTION:About the Book: Litchfield County in the American Revolution\nFrom the first sparks of revolution in the 1770s\, Litchfield County played an important role in the War\nof Independence. Roger Sherman of New Milford was on the five-member committee that drafted the\nDeclaration of Independence. Oliver Wolcott of Litchfield signed the document and oversaw the\ntransportation of a toppled statue of King George III from New York City to his hometown\, where it\nwas melted down and turned into more than forty thousand musket balls. Those musket balls were\nperhaps fired by hundreds of local militia\, including Black residents\, who served in the war\, while many\nother residents helped furnish supplies and information for the army. However\, not everyone supported\nthe Patriot cause\, as the county was also home to those who remained loyal to the British King. Later\nyears saw the Continental Army make a winter encampment in New Milford and several visits by\nGeorge Washington. Local author and historian Peter Vermilyea reveals how liberty\, sacrifice\, and\nresilience in a small corner of New England helped shape the destiny of a new nation.
