It is Monday and a re-blog from the IST past…..American history needs to be learned and appreciated…..today it is about an American traitor…other than Benedict Arnold…..enjoy……Be Smart! Learn Stuff! chuq
It is not my main area of course. But I used to work with an Irish guy called Tim Hickey. He claimed some connection with a spy called Tom Hickey, and he was executed by the Americans during that war.
So that’s my guess. 🙂

Thanx for playing along Pete…I will post the answer a little later….chuq
Benedict Arnold then gained a commission in British army but was held in contempt by them too.
Arnold is not who I have in mind…..chuq
Carl…I stated that he was a War hero charged with treason…..keep that in mind….chuq
Aaron Burr was the “hero”….check out my comment for more info….chuq
