This program will be presented by Howard Cox. Beginning in his late teens, James Wilkinson developed the reputation of being an all-around abhorrent human being and history has continued to support that view. Howard Cox decided to investigate this story and American Traitor is the result. Cox will discuss not only Wilkinson's fascinating career during the American Revolution but also the goings-on during Wilkinson's consorting with Spain and involvement in Aaron Burr's Mexico. Come explore a fresh examination of the life and crimes of this one-time Frederick County resident, who was the highest-ranking federal official ever tried for treason and espionage.
