I forget where I read it, but his name has been synonymous with treason and stuff and some article I read said he was actually a patriot or was not really as bad as they made him out to be. I don't know if its true, but it was interesting.

If anyone knows more about this, I would be interested to hear about it.

You are correct in the early stages of the American Revolution Arnold was one of Washington's most trusted and loyal generals. His heroics at the Battle of Valcour Island and the Battle of Saratoga stopped the British invasion from Canada. Washington considered him his most trusted general. Washington was devastated when Arnold switched sides and so were many other Americans. If he wasn't so revered for his courage the fall from grace would not have been so hard.

Commemorates the Battle of Saratoga. My grandmother was born in Schuylerville, so she used to take us kids to see it. It's an obelisk, just repaired the stairs inside so you can again climb to the top. There are four windows, one on each side, each with a statue of one of the heroes of the Revolution. Benedict Arnold was supposed to have a window/statue, but since he was considered a turncoat, his window is empty... The one I posted is of General Gates.
