The Colour of the Times: Margaret Shippen Arnold and the American Revolution--A Novel of Treason
Against America's Revolutionary War divide of those for and against independence and those caught in between, The Colour of the Times is the story of Peggy Shippen: scared and angered by a rebellion that has estranged family and friends and bred a new, radical government in Pennsylvania; her meeting and marriage to the brilliant but embattled Benedict Arnold; and their stunning path to West Point. It is also the story of the capital, Philadelphia, as Tories and patriots struggle under both British and American rule, and a time “as much civil war as rebellion.” Set in Philadelphia, Valley Forge, British-held Manhattan, and the Highlands of New York, this gripping historical account moves from Peggy’s days being entertained by occupying British troops to the greatest act of treason in America’s history.
Reviews
Willard Sterne Randall

“The novelist may take us to scenes and conversations off limits to the historian, making figures even more human and comprehensible—and Forrest Bachner certainly has done this; adding even more color to the times of Peggy Shippen.”
