Battle of Valcour Island with Jack Kelly
Show Notes

Jack Kelly, author of Valcour:  The 1776 Campaign that Saved the Cause of Liberty tells us about this critical--and nearly forgotten--naval battle on Lake Champlain.  It was not an American victory--but it did prevent the British from moving down the Hudson and winning the war.  Find out how Benedict Arnold built a fleet in the summer of 1776 to slow down the British invasion, and make victory possible.
