Title: Contemporary Copy Of An Important Benedict Arnold Letter About The Siege Of Fort Ticonderoga
Author: (BENEDICT ARNOLD)
Seller: Stuart Lutz Historic Documents, Inc. (United States)
Description: BENEDICT ARNOLD (1741-1801). Arnold was the traitorous general who turned on Continental forces during the American Revolution. Contemporary copy. 1pg. May 17, 1775. Ticonderoga, New York. A contemporary copy of an important Revolution-era letter by Benedict Arnold. A week after Arnold and Ethan Allen had captured Fort Ticonderoga from the British, Arnold wrote to Jonathan Brown to appoint him a major in a newly-formed regiment: Sir, Being appointed by the Committee of Safety at Cambridge, to raise a Regiment of Men, and appoint officers for the same, for the purpose of reducing the Fort at Ticonderoga ect. Confiding in your valour, Judgment & Fidelity, I do by the presents, constitute & appoint you major, of the said Regiment, for which purpose this shall be your sufficient Warrant Benedict Arnold Colo. The capture of Fort Ticonderoga occurred early in the American Revolution, before the United States had officially declared independence from Great Britain. The Jonathan Brown in question may have been the same John Brown who officially accused Arnold of treason several years before his duplicity was actually revealed. The paper has evenly toned and the writing is dark.

A handmade paper journal detailing the daily events of a group of women traveling together in 1914. The journal is titled, "The Log of the Bungaloafers," a tongue-in-cheek name given to the group of women. The women on the trip are listed as "Dramatic Personae," for the characters they play and are mentioned only by their nicknames throughout the album including Boss, Orphan, Fashion Plate, Always Present in Meals, Perpetual Motions, Household Darling, Queen of Movies, Professor of French, Watchman, and Grumpy. Included with the nicknames are small caricatures of each person. The women are traveling from New York City to New Milford, New Jersey to spend time together around the town and exploring forest trails and lakes in the area. Each day has a description, sometimes translated into French, of what is happening, explaining the weather of the day, and a line or so for each person on how they're feeling or what they are doing: "Robbed the library of a few of its worst choice books." Also included is a handwritten and signed letter from 1895 written by Jane Cunningham Croly, a journalist, women's rights activist, and founder of the General Federation of Women's Clubs in New York City. The letter is in reference to a woman's interest in being a candidate for membership within the New York State Federation of Women's Clubs and Societies. An interesting log of travel and activities from a women's group traveling to New Jersey in 1914.
