and benedict arnold's role in the revolution is a fascinating. arnold had been truly one of the heroes of the early american revolution. again, ambition, ego, pride, feeling like he is passed over at every turn, he is wounded at saratoga. very important battle. still leads a charge that helps turn the tide of battle. when the time came to honor those who fought at saratoga, they put up statues and left a niche empty. someone felt arnold's heroism should be marked. there is a marble boot at saratoga. it does not say it is arnold's, but it is. he was wounded in his leg that day and never walked properly. that is why there is a statue of arnold's boot. fascinating character study of this man who was close to washington. washington trusted him. but he and his very ambitious and young wife had other ideas about what would happen. again, i would love to be on the boat ride to hear what the two of them talked about. there are lots of hands. >> over here? mr. davis: then right in the back after that. >> a minuteman at great ridge who fought with lafayette

now, the comparison of edmund randolph to benedict arnold was an exaggeration, but it is also an uncanny foreshadowing of randolph's career in the federal government. jeanne: edmund randolph did not want to join the new administration, partly because he did not want to move his large family to new york city which was the temporary capital at that time. his wife had suffered a still born birth that had nearly killed her. and again, he had a very large family. and did not think that he could live off the meager salary that was allotted to the attorney general in new york with this large family. plus, he would not be separated from them. he was devoted to his family. only his complete devotion to george washington convinced him that he should join a government. but his hesitation to do so rankled washington. just as it would also rankle washington when jefferson hesitated to become secretary of state. but after a time, they were all fairly convivial for at least a short time, and randolph, as i said earlier, proved a diligent advisor whose opinions were both timely and pertinent. washington
