Colonel John Brown, of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, the Brave Accuser of Benedict Arnold

"Colonel John Brown, of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, the Brave Accuser of Benedict…" by Archibald M. Howe is a speech given in the late 1900s that shines a light on Colonel John Brown, a key but sometimes forgotten person in the American Revolution. The book tells the story of Brown's life, starting from his beginnings in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, to his important roles in the military and community during the Revolution. It emphasizes Brown's brave actions in major battles, such as the ones at Ticonderoga and in the Mohawk Valley, as well as his work in diplomacy, facing Benedict Arnold, and his heroic death at Stone Arabia. Howe's address reminds us of the meaning of loyalty, ethics, and the important but often overlooked contributions of brave people like Brown in building the United States.
