I just listened to a presentation by this author at the Society of the Cincinnati. There was some talk about whether he has/had descendants, and Kelly focused on lineal descendants, but there’s another kind. My seventh great grandfather and Arnold were cousins, his father being a brother to mine. I was curious about this society and whether I might be eligible for membership, especially since this book highlights the many glorious achievements that Arnold had, before the downfall. Right at the end of the talk the emcee made a point of saying that I (we) don’t qualify. Well, FU to them. What did their family members do that was half as valuable, brave, courageous etc etc as mine? I’ll bet it didn’t compare. PS- if you’re wondering why I left this comment here instead of the Society’s post, it’s because they have shut off all comments.
