By Roger Kemper Rogan

Book Overview

Benedict Arnold, Our First Marine: His Contemporaries And The Story Of His Life by Roger Kemper Rogan is a comprehensive biography of one of America's most notorious figures in history, Benedict Arnold. The book delves into Arnold's life from his early days as a successful merchant to his rise as a military leader in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Rogan explores Arnold's motivations for switching sides and joining the British army, which ultimately led to his legacy as a traitor in American history. The author also examines Arnold's relationships with other key figures of the time, including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, and how they were affected by his actions. What sets this biography apart is its focus on Arnold's service as a Marine. Rogan argues that Arnold was the first American to serve as a Marine, and that his contributions to the development of the Marine Corps were significant. The book includes detailed accounts of Arnold's naval battles and his leadership in the creation of the Navy and Marine Corps. Overall, Benedict Arnold, Our First Marine provides a comprehensive look at one of America's most complex historical figures, and sheds new light on his contributions to the military and the country's early development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
