History of Canada revisited Vermont intrigue and court chaos
Narrates late 18th century Vermont British negotiation attempts to join Vermont to England, with Allen and Fay figures, major Dundas, St Leger, Cornwallis, and Hamilton. Describes armistice talks, prisoner exchanges, and fears of treason, then shifts to Dorchester’s inquiry into corrupt governance in Canada. Details court perversions mixing French and English law, with judges often swayed by equity, personal pique, or power.
