Major Isaac Lynde, like Benedict Arnold, was considered the foremost American traitor of his era. Just prior to the Civil War, Lynde was accused of surrendering without a fight an entire regiment of battle-ready U.S. troops to the inferior Texas Confederate militia. This book explores the surrounding issues and questions whether he was in fact a coward and a traitor.
