 Benedict Arnold's Leg (Brattleboro, VT), perfect strike in
blue just ties 1861 3c to orange cover to West Haven, Connecticut, matching double circle "Brattleboro VT Sep 21" datestamp at left, extremely fine and attractive in every respect, one of the most unusual and interesting fancy cancel covers we have
handled, only three other off-cover stamps recordedrnFrom PBS: "On the grounds of the Saratoga National Historic Park, there rests a monument to Benedict Arnold's leg. It sits on the spot where Arnold fell wounded during the Battle of Freeman's Farm.
He had just led a brilliant charge against a British redoubt—the culmination of a day of extraordinary field generalship that led one of his soldiers to later write of Arnold that he was 'the very genius of war.'rn"The leg was severely wounded,
bleeding copiously, and pinned beneath Arnold's own horse. It survived the battle and the war.rn"Arnold, of course, did, too. But in the process, he turned from one of the great heroes of the American Revolution into the epitome of traitorousness."
