N2  - "Life and Treason of Benedict Arnold" by Jared Sparks is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book chronicles the life of Benedict Arnold, focusing particularly on the complexity of his character, his military career during the American Revolutionary War, and the events that ultimately led to his notorious act of treason.   At the start of the narrative, the author outlines Arnold's early life, detailing his challenging upbringing and early ambitions.
