here is a picture of general prescott. it did not hurt that general prescott was a hated figure in rhode island. he was the classic petty tyrant. when he interviewed a captain that had been captured, he reportedly knocked him in the head and threatened to hang him. au would regularly visit captain in jail and threatened to have him hanged. he was known to strike quaker men with his cane for failing to doff their hats in respect when he approached. sometimes even the british felt prescott went too far. in canada he had put out a reward of 1000 pounds for the capture of america's best general at the time, benedict arnold. arnold announced a reward for the capture of prescott. but it was only half the amount, 500 pounds. london newspapers admired arnold for his cleverness, and prescott looked like a fool. why was prescott spending time at the rural house? later reports was he wanted to sleep with henry john oberlin's wife or other local women. that was not true. he wanted to be close to the action. most of the american raids
